This fonds contains the personal correspondence, office, and research files of the Murray family, including W.C. Murray (President, University of Saskatchewan), his wife Christina, and his daughters, Christina, Dr. Lucy H. Murray (Professor of English, Regina College), and Dr. Jean E. Murray.

This fonds contains administrative records of the Department of Classics, including material relating to budgets, staffing and space needs and the appointment of the department head.
