Other financial records, also in a small notebook, record travel expenses. Family material concerns the memorial service for his father-in-law, AllenFrederick Behnke, at which Eddy spoke. Interviews may have been conducted as research for articles. Correspondence with Leda Cempellin concerns her writings and reserch about Eddy. Writings include an article and two theses about Eddy. Subject files concern arrangements by Galerie M. E. Thelen to exhibit Eddy's work at 5 venues in Germany, including "Documenta 5" (1972); and a surprise gift from artists to commemorate the Nancy Hoffman Gallery's 20th anniversary.
Printed material consists mainly of catalogs from Eddy's group and solo exhibitions and periodicals containing articles, reviews, and reproductions. The few printed items that do not mention Eddy concern Photorealism, friends or students. Books include: Conversazioni con Don Eddy/Converstions with Don Eddy by Leda Cempellin ; Don Eddy: The Resonance of Realism in the Art of Postwar America
by Virginia Anne Bonito; and L'imperrealismo "Fotographica" Americano in pittura: Rizonanze storiche nells East e nella West Coast .

Photographs - along with some digital images, negatives, and 35-mm color slides - are mainly photographs taken by Eddy for inspiration and reference use, sometimes accompanied by drawings and brief notes. In additon there are a few viees of people, travel, exhibition installations, and artwork by Eddy.
