The museum also holds a small collection of material related to the Point Frederick dockyard and the Royal Navy.

The Royal Military College and other military units started to collect artifacts in a piecemeal way after the Great War.
The college’s commandants indicated in 1918 that he wanted to establish a museum at RMC.
Individual requests were made to the War Trophy Commission 1918–19 and artifacts were received over a period of time 1920-26.
Major-General Sir Archibald Macdonell, who wished to establish a museum in 1919, wrote a letter to the Secretary of the Militia Council requesting, “that some of the various War Trophies captired [sic] by the Canadian Corps may be dispatched to the Royal Military College, for disposal about the grounds and buildings.
Oweing [sic] to the record of the ex-cadets, it would be only fitting and right that the College be allowed certain trophies.”
He noted that some trophies had been turned in from the field to the War Trophies Commission addressed to RMC, but had not yet been received.
Major Gustave Lanctôt of the Dominion Archives replied in 1920 that the War Trophies Commission was waiting for governmental policy with respect to the distribution of War Trophies; [the College] “may be assured to receive the best treatment possible in view of the fine record of its students and the importance of its standing as a National Military College.”

In September 1922, an army board met at RMC to look at the possibility of creating a museum in Fort Frederick.
In January 1926, the Quartermaster General wrote the RMC commandant: “It is the desire of National Defence Headquarters to make the museum at the Royal Military College the principal storehouse for military relics of all natures...” In February 1926, a 12 page inventory of RMC’s holdings included hundreds of small arms, bayonets, scabbards, swords, lances, pistols, machine guns, grenades and bombs, clothing, trench stores, artillery ammunition, engineering models, and other miscellaneous articles.
Many of these holdings were of the 1914-1918 vintage, and, many had been captured from the Germans, particularly during 1918.

Between 1922 and 1946, the RMC collections consisted merely of arms and military artifacts collections raised, built and maintained by individuals or very small groups of veterans.
Although these items were interesting, there was no overall, coordinated story.

Lady Lee widow of Arthur Lee, 1st Viscount Lee of Fareham presented to the Royal Military College of Canada Museum in 1947 a silver-headed walking stick of her late-husband: which he used daily at RMC fifty-four years earlier.
The stick has two silver bands listing the places where Lee served -or visited from 1888 to 1904, which, includes Royal Military College of Canada.
Lady Lee also presented the RMC Museum three photographs of Lord Lee - two of them taken in Kingston, one in uniform in 1893, and the other in 1896 wearing a checked suit, silver-topped stick in hand.
The third is a photograph of the portrait by James Gunn in full regalia of a Knight Grand Cross of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath.

The museum displays collections of military memorabilia and 7000 items, including a collection of 16th through 20th century arms, uniforms, flags, military art and trophies.

The Douglas Arms Collection contains over 400 guns that were originally in the ownership of Mexican President, General Porfirio Diaz.
Another significant collection is the Leinster Plate, a collection of silverware, of the Prince of Wales's Leinster Regiment.
The Nanton Arms collection was presented to RMC by No 78 Colborne J. Nanton (RMC 1882).
