For YEARS She Recorded Everything on TV
Вставка

- Meet Marion Stokes. In 1979, Marion began recording TV 24/7, capturing sitcoms, news and everything in between. She was determined to preserve television history that networks were constantly erasing to save money and free up storage space. As a former librarian and activist, Marion was passionate about access to information. She sometimes had as many as eight tapes spinning away at once. Even getting her family in on the act. “We’d be out at dinner and we’d have to rush home to swap tapes” recalled her son Michael. By the time she passed away in 2012, Marion had amassed about 71,000 tapes - the only comprehensive collection preserving this period in television media history. Now, the Internet Archive is digitizing her incredible work to make it publicly available. Marion's vision of universal access to knowledge will finally be realized, thanks to her tireless effort of secretly recording everything for thirty years. #foundmedia #internetarchive #internethistory
"Secretly?" - To clarify: Her family and friends knew about the recordings, but she kept them private due to past government surveillance of her political activism. This caution likely stemmed from her and her first husband's attempted defect to Cuba. As a new UA-camr, I aim for accuracy and will be more careful with potentially ambiguous statements in the future. Thank you for helping me improve my content.

There is much more to Marion and her story! Check out the great documentary about her life titled *_Recorder: The Marion Stokes Project._* dir. Matt Wolf, where most of this footage is from. I'm unable to link in a Short but her collection (thus far) can be found if you Google "Internet Archive Marion Stokes Collection."
Thanks for sharing that! I’m excited to check this out!
Hopefully, her estate is being fairly compensated.
They're Digitizing her collection..🤔 & "..Those in power, are able to write their own history"..
...🤔Yeah, they better be sure to preserve the originals.
..Or at least keep multiple backups away from "those in power"
@@KeweenawPatriotwhat do you think the purpose of the Internet Archive is? Preserving old media and making it publicly available is exactly what they do. Stop being so paranoid. They're probably grateful for her efforts
Just seen it here. Great work
She owned 7 apartments to store them all. She could afford the apartments because she was an early investor in Apple. She’s a great woman beyond the tapes as well.
I applaud her for seeing apple as a great investment opportunity.
i made the likes 200

Nice try. God used many ways to get his humans to depend upon Him and to include Him in their lives. He knew beforehand that the law wouldn’t work. He is all-knowing, ever-present and all-powerful. It was always in His plan to become flesh (and as flesh He was subject to all the complications, rules and indignities of it) so that He could be born, live, teach and then die and rise again to bring those who want to be in communion with Him, life everlasting.
It’s quite simple.
John 3:16
If we choose to accept His free gift of salvation, we get to be with Him forever. No person on earth knows what total separation from our Creator is like. People talk about it like it’s going to be a permanent party where all the most fun people will be. Make no mistake. If you choose to ignore Him, you will find yourself in the most desolate place imaginable with nobody to comfort you.
Read your Bible prayerfully . Ask the only Living God into your life. Pray for wisdom and strength.
You won’t be sorry!!
We honor you beloved ancestor Marion Stokes for having a grand vision and seeing it through. Your legacy lives on. Thank You

It’s bonkers now to think about tv stations recording over shows and older broadcasts to save tape. So many shows lost. Bless this woman for she knew and took action.
It's to hide proof, when they change narratives. It's not to save tapes. They haven't used tape for storage, since computers.
That's how the old episodes of Dr Who became lost media.
Very few shows are recorded over. The original tapes are kept as masters for marketing & copyright purposes. Without reruns, television channels wouldn't have anything to air outside of prime time, which means no advertising, which means no income. With the astronomical costs of producing any show for TV, the cost to store the film is not that great.
Also, a huge majority of shows were shot on film. Magnetic tapes weren't used due to their poor quality. So there's no way to "record over" film. It's mostly live broadcasts from the late 60s until the early 2000s that would have been saved on magnetic reel tapes.
Interestingly enough, this did happen to the Apollo moon landings. The video sent back was a television broadcast, which was sent to only one or two news channels live as it happened. Apparently the original recordings of the were recorded over. The news agencies believed NASA had recorded everything. So the only video we have was from an amateur photographer working at the studio who filmed the TV monitors of the broadcast.
It sounds unbelievable, but it true. It's why the video you see of the landings is so grainy & bad.
@@k-ozdragonmakes me believe we faked the moon landing even more 🤔
She deserves a National Library. American HERO
Facts.If she doesnt i dont know who does
A beautiful irony.
She's someone women should look up to instead of feminist bullshit.
When she was alive. There’s no real reason to recognize her when she’s no longer around. The same goes for her quality of thinking…….as it was only recognized, being that someone found it to be useful to them. Recognition is good, but not when it’s after the fact or extended in a condescending manner. As people are graced with intelligence to share responsibly and accordingly, in order to add to evolution and all that *Life stands for.
@@HwoarangtheBoomerang This is what feminism is SUPPOSED to be, great women doing great things, not whatever is going on nowadays
Yes she does.
This is a win for humanity. Thank you, Marion Stokes.
Only if they show Everything and not omit things that don’t go with certain narratives.
yeah huge win, except how they can way more easily censor whatever they want once it’s digitized lol completely negating the point of her doing any of this
well said my friend
@@yamondakawazuki8941they still must preserve the originals.
However, whatever is made available, we can all save our own copies.
It would be a lot of work but would have been great to make these available on their own site.
Like feminist who poison society with the toxic radioactive Kool aid....?who use shame guilt insults on men who must submit to manipulative fake anger.?for prefabricated drama that never happened.?@@welcometoSunnydale291
This woman needs to be recognized in some way.. brilliant.. I can see how being a librarian would drive her to document our world in this new way.. purely awesome
But can we trust that it really IS being digitized and preserved, with public access?
Unlikely! They'll screen all of it and take out the parts that make TPTB look a certain way
Exactly.
They'll delete what they don't want released.
I dunno, but The Internet Archive operates on the same principles that she had and for the same reasons. Check them out; they and their mission are very interesting.
@@HopeAndrea_HFGYeah, real unlikely the Internet archive who have dedicated 3 decades to her cause and are literally fighting the government for the right to preserve digital media. 🙄
Internet archive is just a website that attempts to preserve everything in the public domain
These are the kind of people that historians in the future will absolutely love.
If VHS are preserved... Now we need this for every country in the world. I'm assuming she "only" recorded USA tv
We are in the future
@@kerolokerokerolo
She lived in the us
She got us television
@@kerolokerokeroloI know at least of a few European nations, the UK, Spain and France that require by law the presentation of a recording tape to the national archives.
@@kerolokerokeroloIt states that all of her recordings are being digitized at the end of the video
She had incredible foresight...
Not enough to specify to never trust it being re-recorded by somebody other than her family, Who exactly is funding the Internet Archive
@@PuertoRicanRattlesnakeI don’t know, but the lady was an early investor in Apple, so they could potentially have the funds
Normally this is the duty of the national library of each country to record everything. Many countries do this for newspapers but of course it should be argued radio and televisions, and Internet should also at least some national archival institute should be responsible for archiving everything public
@@PuertoRicanRattlesnakeYou can fund it, with donations
This is publicly supported. I've been donating to Internet Archive for more than 5 years now and I encourage others to do so. I used to watch the Mod Squad (70s series) but it was removed. Ditto with Agatha Christie and other books that were shared by public fr their old files 🫤 It's a continuous fight to access free information for public.
Thank you, Marion and your family, who helped acquire televised history.
That's amazing her information should be in the Library of Congress and also accessible to every person in the United States and around the world. She was definitely a forerunner of the I guess maybe you could say Independent Media it's definitely not like it is today but still she took the chance in the information and I believe she wanted it so the future could see all the mistakes and the things that we did wrong in the past and maybe learn from them. In my eyes I think she's a a hero!❤
And she is now, herself, part of this important history. She's the reason we get to have this footprint, thank you to her and her family for their efforts to preserve and inform.
The media is and always has been controlled.
Important? Tbh it was just tv. Lady fr wasted her life for tv.
@@sunflowingI wished I could become a millionaire by "wasting time"💀
@@sunflowing edgy 🤣 you absolutely know that's not true. History is traditionally written by the winners so you only get a biased perspective, but she recorded major world events as much as small wins for humanity, along with countless dark moments and the history of entertainment without bias or agenda other than preservation. What did you do today? If you truly believe she wasted her time, then go do something that isn't a waste of yours rather than judge the efforts of someone else who, although maybe not valued by people like you, helped move our human understanding of where we came from forward even just a bit. The sacrifices made to improve our future understanding of history unaltered is a huge feat compared to what most do with their time.
She recorded the true events of history; that gets changed. In 100 years a lot of us will have forgotten the true history. I commend this woman, she was truly extraordinary and ahead of her time. ❤
What a fantastic woman! She KNEW about corruption and that if things are erased from our history, it opens the door to all kinds of evil! What a brilliant person. RIP. You did a good thing!

You are corrupted, because you listen to and believe corrupted sources like the quran, and hinduism. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life, nobody comes to God the Father except through him. I tell you the truth, you must be born again. Unless you repent and turn from your wicked and evil beliefs and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your savior, you will perish. Those who reject this message are condemned. Pray about it, humble yourself, don't kick back at the Holy Spirit but let him convict you of your sin, he will bring you to Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and make you born again and a new creature and write your name in The Book of Life
So it’s all getting digitized, now it’s even easier to erase.
Wow she’s so woke
Yet another American woman whose work and dedication to the truth should humble us all. Marion Stokes is a national treasure and deserves to be recognized for her gift to history and the world.
I Want to Know More About Her because She Sounds so Awesome,❤️. That Was Dedication, Thank You Mrs Stokes. You are a Part of Our History❣️
This is why archivists and those who search for lost media are so important to the history of digital media. I have only praise for this woman's dedication.

Let's be real. The government is either deleting it all in secret or they are editing the heck out of it.

Not "pointless" to "Data Hoarders", this is literally their bread and butter. For all intents and purposes digitizing her tapes is a gold mine of information regardless of its importance and relevancy.
Fine. We’ll call it John Adam’s library
Stokes was a visionary. I followed her for decades. She was diligent in her destiny!
Wonderful woman!
Thank you for your service Marion.
She recorded my entire childhood. Born in 79. All of those commercials and news stories and shows that made up my life. I'm here for it and can't wait to have access to it!!!
I was born in '74...equally looking forward to this archive...

@@sherlockbonezbet she got old Jerry Springer im pumped
You can keep the commercials. I don’t want commercial interruptions from any era.
Some of it is already on Internet Archive has been for some time check it out
My dad use to record every documentary he ever saw was going to appear on tv, he had thousands in the cupboards. i grew up watching hundreds of animal documentaries, history and things of interest. Superb.
Contact someone to digitize them if still available.
Treasures like this often get thrown out by subsequent generations. To create space.
I kick myself all the time because I let myself get talked into giving up bootlegs of live Grateful Dead shows on cassette tape. I should have gotten them digitized because they were too old to listen to without having problems.
I use to watch all documentaries I could find even if Idk what they were about until I saw Zoo in 2007 on HBO. I stopped watching them for a bit but now I make sure to read what they are about before I watch.

Cool Marian! 😎 Thank you for preserving the truth with the history of TV since 1979.
Now we know how valuable it is, history is being rewritten daily. Britannica had definitions that were straightforward, now those same definitions have been removed or made to define something unrelated.
As someone who works at a small TV station, I have to thank her. There's so much history in TV that is lost the second it airs, and storage space is limited. People like her make it so history can be told
I understand you just work there. But in the digital age saying storage space is limited is wild. .. a 16 terabyte HDD is $300. That's about 8000 hours of HD video, and roughly 17000 at standard quality.. that's just shy of 600 half hour episodes.
Idk how small your station is but the bigger conglomerates have no excuse other than "just don't wanna"
@@deshyvin yet the big boys still say "I dont wanna" because. Why would they?
Yep we had to make room so we can store years and years of worthless security footage, meaningless databases for dead websites etc 😅
And her sacrafice is rewarded with a thought and prayer. Great example to set for future generations: nobody cares about you but they might take your life’s work.
Second Post, you have to realize the medium limitations of half a century ago, and the conventions they set to legacy media of today. A 💾 only had 3MB when I was growing up paying for each one at the library in order to save my report on MS Word back in the .doc days.
She was ahead of her time but existed at the right time to do what she did. Shout out to the Internet Archives for doing this. I hope the cataloge can be accessible in full. She captured a lot of originals news stories that are damn near impossible to find online today. That is the real treasure of her collection.
Not only that, the quality of the reporting is so information-dense, full of detail, and non-panicky. Unlike today.
People like her are what helped kids who couldn’t afford stuff growing up like me “acquire” things online through Archive or Torrents. I know that wasn’t her goal but her efforts make her one of my hero’s.
Love her. So ahead of her time
God bless that woman
She understood better than anyone else how important it is to remember.

Seriously, this woman recorded EVERYTHING from the time I was 6 years old! Things I remember that I’m sure everyone else has long forgotten or cared about, history that has conveniently been “erased”… Marion thought to get all that proof of things that happened and get some nostalgia for those of us who would love to see part of our pasts that we remember again 😊 They literally need to make a library just for the data she collected so it’s all in one place for us to access, so we can all browse what she collected over all those years. I can’t wait to see what she has! 🤩❤️ Thank you, Marion and family, for saving so much for the rest of us! ❤
Thank you Mrs. Marion! You knew and understood the importance of the truth in news and history, and you recorded it.
"truth in news" Unfortunately, too much is not truth.
@@ILGuy2012 exactly why she does this. So we have proof of all the lies the media made over the decades.
@ILGuy2012 well maybe not THE "truth" but if someone said something back in 1980 and they're trying to say now they said something else, she may have recorded the proof that they did indeed say something else. Much like Joe Biden constantly lying about things, some that don't even necessarily matter, fortunately people have been able to prove him wrong. He is NOW saying how he marched for and supported civil rights, but some of us know the truth and how he felt about integration and segregation, the fact that he was close with at least 1 known member of the KKK, and that's the perfect example of someone who tries to write their own history.
@@ILGuy2012 There’s still reading between the lines and looking at how history keeps repeating itself. Still important.

in her own small way - an archive/library of usa t.v. history - her spiritual ancestry unquestionably begins with those who founded library of alexandria and every single collection of records and knowledge ever since. that was the spirit in her.
This is someone who should be on those quarters for women, not random people or people who did nothing for the modern world.
@@Scriptorsilentum The tragedy is that she couldn't record it all. I bet she always lamented that, too, in the back of her mind. But she did what she *could* do; and God bless her for that 😌🕊.
May we all aspire to do at least 1 thing that's significant for someone else.
Actually, she was a literal HEROINE. 😉 You know, due to the fact that she was a woman and all.
I don't know if people realize just how important this archive is. This woman deserves all the awards.
Wow, that's incredible! Preserving the Information of news, tv shows and commercials for future generations to enjoy and cherish. I wonder if anyone is still doing that today. To many governments and companies today are busy erasing the past.
*The MOST IMPORTANT words out of this incredible woman's mouth was, "Those in power are able to write their own history." She knew EXACTLY what she was doing!!! What an AMAZING and BRILLIANT woman!!!*
Yep they been trying there hardest to write that trump is a dictator even though they are the dictator
yeesh why'd ya put it in bold my eyes hurt
@Inorepotatoes141 *Because I have issues with my vision called pinpoint vision. I have a severe astigmatism in my eyes that causes my vision to blur even with corrective lenses. When I am using my phone, it makes it easier for me to see and edit the text that I write. I am sorry if my vision loss offends you.*
@@firewaterbydesign unnecessary passive aggressiveness. Un-bold it before posting.
@@firewaterbydesignexcept it's not "by those in power" it's basically information democracy. The details are analyzed and a consensus is formed.
Anything that is covered up by those in power wouldn't be allowed on tv in the first place
Her dedication is so immense. Her name should be written in history books.
Hate to say it, more than likely she won't be. At least not as it should. Just like many before her😒
She won’t..they don’t like people like her!
Her culture will forever be written in the history books. A what not to do history lesson.....
I bet she erased or didn't record anything that goes against her "culture". In fact after a quick Google search its clear to see I was right.
@@bestofgrime7723you don't know this specific woman's culture. What an absolutely irrelevant comment
Thank you son for honoring her efforts and doing the next stage
Thank you, Mary. That was awesome, and very commendable (Tartaria has been lost to history). Well done.
As someone who’s interested in an old tv show with no releases, I rely completely on recordings made by others to catalogue. People who did/do this are amazing, and it’s still needed today. Not everything on the internet is permanent
What show?
What show?
This woman is simply amazing. Everyone deserves free access to information in this day and age.

Thank you for your hard work Mary rest in peace
With the new digital multimedia, archival material is much more important than before.
That former librarian (R.I.P.) captured which otherwise would be lost, possibly forever lost in antiquity.
It's a lot to sort through, but she did a great conscientious thing. God, rest that good woman's soul.
I AM TRULY GREATEFUL TO THE FAMILY FOR ALLOWING THIS....CAN'T WAIT TO START BINGING THE FOOTAGE
May have historical value, but most of those years were pure crap as far as entertainment value, lol
@@jray5894 you must have been born in the late 90's or later???
@@jray5894 MAYBE....BUT ENTERTAINMENT IS IN THE EYE OF THE WATCHER🤷🏾♀️😂
99.99 % is trash
I hope they also saved old commercials cause those are so entertaining to watch
Saw an old broadcast from 1979 where the city of Houston contemplated making a law that people could only use their cars every other day. This is something that I could not even find when trying to find it online. Pretty awesome she did this and anyone else that are digitizing things so we can get a real feel for the times.
Wasn't the reason for that a severe gas shortage of the late 70's rather than some authoritarian measure, as you seem to imply?
@@deanronson6331 they did implement an ever other day to fill up with gas rule for gas stations to follow during the gas crisis. I've even talked to people that had fake license plates in Houston at that time to have one ending in an even and odd number to not be effected by the limitations.
The news report was saying they would make it illegal to drive your car every other day. A guy waiting for gas nonchalantly says he didn't really care because he didn't have to drive to work so it wouldn't effect him. The news did say they didn't believe it had the backing to pass, but implied there was a still a chance it could. I personally think it is interesting to see how laws and mindsets have differed over time and what could've been.
@@deanronson6331 I don’t think he was implying that, more that certain things seem to get oddly “forgotten “ by history.
@@InAHollowTree Placing "forgotten" in quotation marks reveals a conspiracy-theory bent of your own. A true mark of useful education is being able to separate the wheat from the chaff. Not every little piece of info deserves to be saved or learned about.
Just, wow! The lady deserves to be remembered. She did it for the right reasons, too - preserving history. How can people access these recordings? Her work is in vain if the public cannot access it.
That took so much passion and dedication. I admire that ❤. I just hope the people digitizing the collection don’t delete things but this honestly doubtable.
WOW! What a true hero of journalism and culture. TY to Ms Stokes.
I'm glad she did this. She's clearly a devoted archivist - without bent or skew.
Wow, that's incredible. Thank you, Marion 🙏
Thank you Marion Stokes and your family.
Ever Peace 🕊️
This is someone who should be famous and recognized by everyone.
lol. For taping tv. an American hero
@@PolloDeLaPiscinaWhen they take down all internet info and books you'll wish there was preserved media.
@@PolloDeLaPiscina For keeping a diligent record of what they were sending into people’s homes. Most of what she saved is one of a kind and would not exist had she not had the forethought to do this. And she didn’t just leave the record button running while she watched her shows, she made a point of saving as much as she could.
If you asked those stations what new product or method they were brainwashing the masses with on any particular week, they would give you a generic vague answer about the popular shows, but this is a true look at exactly what was swaying the opinions and politics of the time.
It is irreplaceable.
A lot of the past television history would be lost if not for her.
no its not, its the cringiest thing a person could do lol
This is the whole point of the Internet Archive. Thank you and your family's work.
Thank you Marion ❤ you served future generations well in teaching them about us...their ancestors
I love that she did this in Philadelphia so all my local things I grew up with are preserved.
Omg wow I did t know this!! Same from the Philly area !!
My favorite American city. I don't know if I've just had good luck but it's the friendliest big city I've ever been to
That is crazy how your city probably has a lot more newscasts preserved than a lot of others just because of her.
@@richarddavis8863shhhh, don’t let the secret out!!! We gotta let people continue to think Kensington represents Philly as a whole. It’s such a misrepresented city that’s not understood by anyone who hasn’t lived in it. Fine by me because it helps keep rent low!
@@ImpetuousPorkus I can't give the secret away, I tried lol. I was telling a guy the other day how much I loved it and how friendly it was and he said "You're being facetious right?" I dunno, I'm from West Virginia and people are super friendly here and Philadelphia is the only city I've been to where people will give you a nod and "sup" when you pass em on the street, chat with you in line at the store. In Atlanta and LA people act like you're schizophrenic for making small talk lol
Thank you, Marion. History owes a great debt to you for your determination and foresight of capturing important historical moments for future generations.
This is amazing! I hope there are more people out there who are doing the same thing! That’s great that the Internet archive is digitizing it, awesome!
Amazing commitment! God bless her and her family for making this possible!
Thats badass. She definitely is exposing stuff we were lied about stuff they "never" said on t.v. all the same words repeated over and over.
If they let us see those parts🤔👀
It is people like her that change the world in the biggest ways. Knowledge is power and information is its ammunition.
Wow! What a lot of our history! Useful in so many ways!
We love you, Marion! Your name will ring through the ages. You will never die. We love you too, Internet archive people.
Me, too! I discovered Internet Archive when looking for an old newspaper article. I read some books there (although some were removed like Agatha Christie's etc) and watch old TV series (Mod Squad was also removed though). I donate to them.
Ms Stokes Saved it All When Everyone else Would Delete them 🤍
I LOVE ARCHIVISTS!!! Not only is it *cool* to revisit and rediscover old media, it's also very important for history and making sure that it can't be rewritten by those who want to abuse their power.
G*h damn Shego was so fine
Maybe u should try visit the Vatican Archives. If u love Archivists
Unfortunately it can be rewritten eventually overtime with AI. Which is likely to happen because the government and media controls the narrative.
A paper archivist had an original birth announcement photo of my grandad from 1914...it is the only one that survived...I now have it...he lived 1500 miles away from where grandad was born
@@AA-yb5np
There is amazing information in the Vatican archives as well.
They should name a museum after this lady.
Amazing! Visionary.
I talk about Raygun's War against American labor in general & American organized/unionized labor in specific that is still going on because lived through it. But I & my memories won't always be here. Marion's videos will still be here. Thank you, Marion Stokes.
Great now I can watch that episode of Days of Our Lives I missed in 1983. Thanks, Marion.
Miranda did it.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉!!
Copywrite. Sorry you aren't able to lol
Or the news
The Guiding Light!!!
Marion Stokes is my hero. I value preserving media so deeply I actually teared up hearing about her contributions and life outside the tapes.
Oh bless this woman! Her OCD results in priceless pieces of history.
Wow, what an awesome feat! I had no idea that broadcasts were erased or recorded over. Marion should have a library named after her!
Thank you, Marion. We might not realise it yet, but your work will have such a positive effect on humanity and history.
So many different offshoots of old shows and art will be made
