Why did we build the Warren Buffett Archive?

Each year, thousands of shareholders come to Omaha for Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting. The highlight is a wide-ranging Q&A session with Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger.

Until 2016, when livestreaming began, Berkshire did not allow any outside recording at the event.

Now, for the first time, Berkshire Hathaway is sharing the videos it's been making since 1994. They form the core of this archive.

In the "Annual Meetings" session you'll find a page for each year with a full-length video and synchronized transcript of the morning and afternoon sections of the Q&A. They are divided into "chapters" to help you navigate through the material. Additionally, there are "key chapters"' to indicate some of the most interesting segments of the meetings. We've also compiled a highlight reel for each year and created video clips covering scores of subjects.

"CNBC Interviews" includes a selection of live and taped appearances Buffett has made on the network. We will add additional interviews on an ongoing basis and plan to introduce interview transcripts in the future.

"Buffett A-Z" brings together collections of clips from multiple years on a variety of key subjects covered in the meetings.

"Timeline" is a visual look at some of the most important milestones in Buffett's life and career.
