The Internet Archive's primary purpose is, as its name suggests, creating and maintaining an archive of the internet, a historical document that lets anyone review how websites have changed over time. The Internet Archive says it is considering preparing similar archives for other high-profile politicians and public officials: "For example, we'll explore the idea of creating curated collections for Trump's nominees to head federal agencies members of Congress of both parties (for example, perhaps the Senate and House majority and minority leadership) Supreme Court nominees, and so on." The archive contains more than 520 hours of footage dating back to 2009 and taken from "700+ televised speeches, interviews, debates, and other news broadcasts." It is, Watzman says, a "work in progress" - so expect it to continue to grow in the weeks and months ahead. In other words, the archive is intended as a way to hold Trump accountable, giving the general public access to review his public statements over the years and assess whether and how they had changed. "We hope to provide assistance for those tracking Trump's evolving statements on public policy issues." "Reporters, researchers, Wikipedians, and the general public are invited to quote, compare and contrast televised statements made by Trump," Nancy Watzman wrote in a blog post. On Thursday, the Internet Archive announced the creation of the Trump Archive - a huge collection of footage of Trump's media appearances and interviews. Got nothing planned for this weekend? Then why not spend it watching archive footage of American President-elect Donald Trump.
