- catalog abstract "The Papers of George A. Eddy consist of materials related to Eddy’s life and career, the security cases of Alger Hiss and Henry Dexter White, his own security case in 1954-1955, and a great deal of material related to the Red Scare of the Cold War era in general. After the conclusion of his own hearing, in which he was cleared of any suspicion, Eddy began collecting extensive research materials for a book he wanted to write on the testimony of Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers in the Hiss and White cases. Eddy never finished his book, but Series I of this collection contains chapter drafts and other writings by him. Series II and III both contain correspondence, notes, clippings and publications, and other miscellaneous materials collected or written by Eddy as part of his research. Series IV contains biographical information on Eddy, primarily from the years leading up to and during his security trial and those of his associates at the Treasury. This collection contains a great deal of material useful to scholars of government-sponsored anti-communism during the Cold War in the United States. For related materials, please consult the Papers of Elinor Ferry and the Case Files of William H. Taylor.".

- catalog description "During Eddy’s hearing his lawyer attacked the credibility of Elizabeth Bentley and the evidence against many of those named above, and Eddy mentioned to the Security Board that he also doubted the guilt of Alger Hiss. In late 1955, after his hearing, Eddy received full clearance and back pay, but soon resigned from his position at the Treasury. He then began working on a book about the accusations of Elizabeth Bentley and Whittaker Chambers against Alger Hiss and Harry Dexter White, a project he continued until 1962. He returned to economic work until the late 1980’s, after the death of his wife, at which time he returned to his work on the Hiss-White case.".

- catalog description "From 1933 to 1934 Eddy worked as the Assistant to the Economist and Vice President at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. From 1934 to 1936 he worked as a Research Analyst for the Division of Research and Statistics at the U.S. Treasury, and then from 1936 to 1939 he was back at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to work in their Research Department, first on matters related to the Far East and later on domestic finance and business issues. After a brief time as a columnist and reporter for the Journal of Commerce in New York City, Eddy returned to the Treasury in 1939 as a Senior Economic Analyst in the Division of Monetary Research.

- catalog description "In 1941 Eddy married his wife Eileen. During World War II he was a lieutenant in the Navy, and remained in the Navy as a Reservist. Upon his return from the war he continued his work for the U.S. Treasury.".
- catalog description "In 1954 Eddy was suspended from the Treasury as a security risk. At the time, a great many employees from the Treasury, including Secretary Henry Morgenthau, were being accused of communist sympathies. Miss Elizabeth Bentley, a former communist who became a government informer, was the government’s primary source of information on the communist activities of many Treasury employees. Eddy’s suspension was based on his associations with and open support of publicly identified communists, including Lauchlin M. Currie, Harry Dexter White, V. Frank Coe, Robert C. Barnard, Emile Despres, William Ludwig Ullman, Harold Glasser, Solomon Adler, and William Henry Taylor. According to the Treasury, these associations showed a lack of good judgment and discretion, and cast serious doubts about Eddy’s own trustworthiness.".
