Narrator

A person being interviewed during an oral history recording. While there are many possible terms, including interviewee or chronicler, this iteration of our Core Principles and Practices uses the term narrator exclusively. We do this as an acknowledgment that the people we interview have agency and are not merely “living human subjects.”
