About the archive
The archive keeps short, exact excerpts of what public figures said, with the date, the place and what they were responding to, and a link to the full original.
- Excerpts are copied word for word and kept short; the source link carries the full statement.
- A statement is Verified primary only when we matched it to an official transcript, recording or publication.
- Context notes are neutral: they say what the statement responded to, not whether it was right.
Sources we prefer
- Official transcripts and recordings
- First-party publications and press releases
- Broadcast archives
- Court and parliamentary records of testimony
Editorial code
- Coverage is chosen by published criteria, not by any client or dispute.
- Titles are neutral; difficult questions are answered directly.
- Every sensitive page shows its status, source date and review date.
- No one can pay to be added, removed or to change a record.
