A set of cast credits (from a documentary):

1st Screen:
Narrated by - Name

2nd Screen:
Voices (divider)
Set of names with roles

3rd Screen:
With (divider)
Two columns of names without roles
Library of Congress Ex-Slave Recordings

Do I include the last entry?  It is listed with the cast and there is no difference in spacing other than that entry being centered under the two columns of names above it.  Thoughts?
If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.

Is it useful to have names without roles that identify them? Maybe. Maybe not. You decide.

See that's the thing, some would say to include them, but I've seen stunt coordinators, pilots and others listed right in the cast section, no break at all, yet I don't see anyone contributing them.

But since it's in the credits as

Library of Congress Ex-Slave Recordings
I think that maybe akin to archive footage, but audio only. Since it seems that we shouldn't include archive footage credits I am leaning to leaving them out.

I only mean the "Library of Congress Ex-Slave Recordings," not the people who are credited without roles.

Yes, these would be archival recordings of slaves speaking about their experiences.  Credits are from Ken Burns Civil War.

No, do not include "Library of Congress Ex-Slave Recordings" as a cast member.  This apparently refers to an audio archive and not to a person or group of people.

Yeah, I kinda figured not to include it as a cast member, however it is a full credit with all of the cast so I wanted to talk about it.
