Stokes did her recordings, in her own words, to benefit society.
Monkhouse did it primarily to archive his own work but also because he was obsessive about collecting stuff generally. It was a hobby, there was probably no intent to benefit anybody but him (indeed his court case in the 1970s shoved the hobby firmly underground and it only resurfaced after his death).
