Our future physical archive:

Dolph Briscoe Center for American History (CAH), University of Texas at Austin
The Texas After Violence Project is an independent oral history project, not run by the Center for American History, but in 2007 we negotiated with the CAH to archive the original audi-recordings and videotapes of oral histories there, once a critical mass of narrators (people we have interviewed) have donated their materials to the project with the understanding that we would share their interviews with CAH, among other libraries and archives. . No materials are at CAH yet.

Terms:

* The person interviewed,
the person who grants an interview,
the interviewee,
the person we interview,
the narrator,
the person who shares or tells her or his story,
the storyteller,
the interview subject,
the informant,
the interview donor,
the donor,
and the consultant
are all phrases that -- in our context -- overlap in meaning. Different people use different phrases, depending on their perspectives on what they're doing; academics will use terms that vary according to their disciplinary training.
