The speeches focus primarily on his tenure as Ambassador to France, although several addresses from his second term as governor are also included.

The Correspondence Series contains correspondence compiled by Walter and Camilla Sewall Edge. The bulk of the material consists of personal correspondence among family, friends, and colleagues. Many of the letters offer well-wishes to the Edge family or contain discussions of vacation plans.

SERIES I: BY-LAWS (1941-1966) consists of the by-laws of Freedom House dating from 1941 through 1966, as well as the by-laws and certificate of incorporation of the Willkie Memorial of Freedom House, Inc. from 1945-1946.

SERIES II: MINUTES (1941-1966) includes the minutes of the Trustees Meeting of Freedom House on May 10, 1966 in which the trustees discussed Freedom House's views on the Vietnam War. These are the only Trustee Meeting minutes. Also included are the minutes of the Board of Directors, dating from 1941 to 1969; this run is complete. The minutes are arranged chronologically. Additional copies of meeting minutes can be found in Series XII: Legal Files, where they have been kept as legal documents supporting the court case against Freedom House.

SERIES III: CORRESPONDENCE (1934-1985) consists of correspondence files, arranged chronologically. The majority of the correspondence is incoming only to George Field, although there are a few letters from him. There is both business and personal correspondence, however the majority is business. Correspondents include individuals such as Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, Charles Poletti (Justice, Supreme Court, New York State), Herbert Morrison (Secretary of the London Labour Party), Hendrik Willem Van Loon, and many others. There is quite a bit of correspondence that is substantial in nature, rather than simply an exchange of pleasantries. The correspondence of Herbert Morrison and Hendrik Willem Van Loon is especially substantial.

SERIES IV: SUBJECT FILES (1942-1969) consist of folders, arranged alphabetically by subject, that were put together by Field. Often the folders only include newspaper clippings and other printed materials.

SERIES V: ANNUAL REPORTS (1943, 1950, 1961-63, 1966) contains an incomplete run of reports written by the Public Affairs Committee of Freedom House. The report dating from 1943 is a typical annual report that lists the activities of the organization during its second year of existence. The other reports are titled as a "Balance Sheet of Freedom" and list national and international major events effecting freedom, thus providing an summary of the views of Freedom House on these events. There is also an annual report to the President of the United States in 1950 stating Freedom House's support of the Korean War, specifically the events of June 25, 1950 and after.

SERIES VIII: ANNUAL FREEDOM AWARDS (1942-1969) contains information on the awards ceremonies and individuals presented with the Freedom Awards each year. The amount of material varies with each year, but in most cases there is always a program for the ceremony. Correspondence with the recipients can be found in the correspondence series, and photographs can be found in the photographs series.

SERIES IX: PUBLICATIONS (1938-1949) consist of the various publications put out by Freedom House including programs, pamphlets, letter to the editor by Field, newsletters, and newspaper clippings.

SERIES XIII: PHOTOGRAPHS (1941-1969) contains photographs taken throughout the existence of Freedom House, although some photographs predate Freedom House and are from the period during 1941 when the New York City Chapter of the Committee to Defend America By Aiding the Allies and Fight For Freedom were working together. The photographs from the Freedom Rally in Madison Square Garden (May 7, 1941) all pre-date Freedom House, but a majority of the individuals were closely involved with Freedom House. Most are publicity shots taken at events sponsored by Freedom House.
