Compile EU Politician/Policy-maker Writings & Speeches

I’m assembling a research archive on 15-16 senior EU politicians and policy-makers from my own list. For every individual I need any publicly available material—articles, formal speeches, and/or social-media posts—gathered in both the original language and in English whenever a bilingual version exists.

Here’s what success looks like:

• A clearly structured spreadsheet (or Airtable if you prefer) that logs for each item: politician’s name, title of the piece, type (article / speech / post), original publication date, source link, and language.
• Downloaded or screen-captured copies of the originals stored in an organised folder structure, with filenames that match the spreadsheet entries.
• Where possible, provide working hyperlinks that allow me to verify every source quickly.
• If you locate only a native-language version, note that explicitly; if an authorised English translation exists, include it alongside the original.

Accuracy is paramount, so please double-check dates, authorship, and that the content truly originates from the politician (not commentary about them). I’ll share the list of names the moment we start; feel free to suggest additional reliable repositories or databases that could speed up collection.

Let me know your preferred research tools or any clarifications you might need so we can kick off right away.
