Marion Marguerite Stokes ( Butler; November 25, 1929December 14, 2012) was an American access television producer, businesswoman, investor, civil rights demonstrator, activist, librarian, and prolific archivist, especially known for her archiving of hundreds of thousands of hours of television news footage spanning 35 years, from 1977 until her death in 2012, at which time she operated nine properties and three storage units. According to ''The Los Angeles Review of Books'' review of the 2019 documentary film ''Recorder'', Stokes's massive project of recording the 24-hour news cycle "makes a compelling case for the significance of guerrilla archiving."
