The collection started with over 300 watercolour paintings of scenes of Salisbury and the surrounding area by Edwin Young, after whom the gallery is named. The gallery has since acquired watercolours by artists of various periods. In addition, the gallery has around 2,000 books in more than 20 languages, as well as book jacket designs, manuscripts, and ephemera related to the crime/thriller novelist John Creasey in the 1970s. The collection has expanded to include a collection of artwork and prints. It contains original works by Edgar Barclay, William Goldsmith, Robin Tanner, as well as prints by the English artists John Constable, David Hockney, Henry Moore, and J. M. W. Turner.

In 2024, the former Edwin Young Collection and the John Creasey Museum were merged to allow the Young Gallery to renew its accreditation with Arts Council England.{{cite web| url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c900p8pwp4ko | first=Carys | last=Nally | date=22 May 2024 | title=Two charitable trusts have merged to support a free art museum in Wiltshire. | work=BBC News, West of England | publisher=BBC | location=UK | accessdate=25 June 2024 }}{{cite web| url=https://salisburyandavon.co.uk/charity-formed-to-preserve-salisbury-gallery-collectio/ | first=Paul | last=Jones | date=21 May 2024 | title=Charitable formed to preserve Salisbury gallery collection trusts have merged to support a free art museum in Wiltshire. | work=Salisbury and Avon | location=UK | accessdate=25 June 2024 }}
