Marion Stokes, a former librarian from Philadelphia, began recording television news in 1979, believing broadcasts would be altered or lost over time. For the next 35 years, she recorded around the clock, amassing over 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes containing an estimated 840,000 hours of footage.

Her home filled with televisions, recorders, and stacks of tapes, becoming a personal archive of modern media history. After her passing in 2012, her collection was donated to the Internet Archive, where it is being digitized to preserve her extraordinary record of how history was broadcast.
