Today I learned about Marion Stokes' TV archive

Today I learned about Marion Stokes, a woman from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, who recorded hundreds of thousands of hours of television news footage spanning 35 years, from 1977 until her death in 2012. At her death, she had grown a collection of about 71,000 VHS and Betamax tapes. Her archivist and compulsive hoarding tendency also resulted in a collection of 30,000 to 40,000 books.

In 2019, a documentary film was made about her, and her archives named Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project.

Her collection was archived by the Internet Archive which is available here.
