Just got this lovely message from Jules in Papamoa. She trusted me with her family tapes that had been sitting for over 20 years and hearing how much it meant to her honestly makes it all worthwhile.

Thanks so much Jules, it was a real privilege to help you keep those memories alive and great to have abit of banter too 😜 📼✨

📺 The Woman Who Saved TV History on 71,000 VHS Tapes

While most people taped their favorite shows, Marion Stokes taped everything.

Starting in 1979, the former librarian and activist noticed something troubling — TV stations erased old programs to save money, wiping history clean. She decided to fight back the only way she could: by recording nonstop.

For 35 years, Marion ran as many as eight VCRs at once, capturing news, commercials, sitcoms, and politics — 24/7. Her family even helped swap tapes when she couldn’t. By the time she died in 2012, she had filled 71,000 VHS tapes, preserving over 300,000 hours of television history.

Now, the Internet Archive is digitizing her life’s work, making it freely available. Thanks to Marion, the world has a record that no one — not even the most powerful — can erase.

Been an absolute blast working with Team Kiwi Racing on this one 🙌

Had the chance to digitise 45 old VHS tapes full of their racing history from back in the day. Pretty special stuff to bring back to life 🚗💨

Can’t wait to see more of the footage and work together again down the line. Big thanks to TKR for letting me be part of it! 🔥

Special memories saved. Thank-you Stark Studios for a great job done to save some very special race footage/memories that I thought we had lost forever. I just had 45 VHS tapes that have various TKR race footage on them from the early nineties/early 2000's digitally transferred from the old VHS tapes to online digital format that ensures I have saved this special footage from never being seen again. If you have special memories on old VHS tapes that you want digitally converted to ensure you can share such special footage/images with others for many years to come, then reach out to Isaac at Stark Studios in Auckland to get you sorted before it is too late and your images, footage is lost forever. Save your memories today. Digitizing and Restoration services.

💾 Cheeky Throwback 💾

Remember when saving your work meant this?

Now your family photos are sitting on media that’s just as outdated.

📼 VHS tapes that won’t fit in your TV anymore
🎞 Slides that require a projector from 1978
💿 DVDs your laptop doesn’t even have a drive for

Stark Studio can drag your memories out of the tech stone age and make them easy to share, store, and enjoy again.

⚡ Don’t let your family history get stuck behind obsolete tech.
