Quoticus, a nonprofit, provides:

“a video library of speeches, interviews, and debates conducted by prominent public figures, and make it accessible to anyone with an Internet connection. We also provide carefully reviewed text transcripts linked to each piece of video; convenient, simple-to-use search tools that let journalists and Web loggers find the videos of the events they are writing about; and convenient tools that let them link their articles to these transcripts and videos.”

I hope these guys can pull it off. A valuable service if they can.
