The Museum of Hidden History was incorporated on April 25, 2012. We have applied for our non-profit status from the IRS and donations are now tax-deductible.
We are excited about our strategic plans to create a first stage Hidden History Research Center and Library this year. That will be followed by a series of traveling exhibits that will be on view in museums around the country. With your help, we hope to open the Museum of Hidden History, which will include an expanding library, archive and research center, in 2016.
We will be telling stories of American history that you've never heard secrets about powerful figures, operations performed under the radar, and actions hidden from the public, from people like you, that changed our country.
We will be revealing history from many perspectives, including those of women, ordinary people, people of color and others whose voices have yet to be heard and whose stories remain untold. They are part of our real but hidden history.

MUSEUM OF HIDDEN HISTORY BOARD MEMBERS
John Judge, Founder and Executive Director: John's qualifications include: a BA with a major in Communication Arts; 45 years of experience in research, writing and lecturing; 40 years of experience administering and fundraising for non-profit organizations; 20 years of media relations work; and two years working as a Congressional staffer. His duties with the Museum of Hidden History include fundraising; publicity and outreach; newsletter and website development; and oversight of the Library and Research Center.
Marilyn Tenenoff, Treasurer: Marilyn's qualifications include: a BA with a major in English; 7 years of experience as a secondary school teacher; 15 years of experience with traveling exhibits and in retail marketing; and 30 years of office management and bookkeeping experience, both as a business owner and an office supervisor. Her duties with the Museum of Hidden History include financial planning and bookkeeping; marketing; traveling exhibit development; and oversight of interns.
Phillip Fornaci, Secretary: Phil's qualifications include: a BA with majors in English and Philosophy; a JD with Honors; bar certifications in Maryland and the District of Columbia; 20 years of civil rights and public policy advocacy; 15 years of fundraising experience, including major donor solicitation and grant writing; 15 years of community organizing experience; 15 years of staff supervision and management experience.

We will be using new archives, documents and research to re-tell aspects of history that have been lost or distorted, and to inform us about our own history, kept from us for decades but now "declassified" and open to the public.
Our history is in danger of being lost. The true history of America's past, as well as recent history from World War II forward, has yet to be accurately and honestly told. In the near future, countless books, records, documents and archives of hidden history will either be preserved or destroyed. We have begun the process of protecting them and supporting the full release of government files still buried in the name of national security.
History matters, and access to real history is critical! Our history informs our present and our future, and information is the most important tool in a real democracy.
Please let us know if you are interested in this Museum, would want to visit once we open our doors, have something you could contribute research collections, volunteer hours, ideas for exhibits or financial support. Please sign up for our mailing list on our home page and receive our regular updates and news and tell your friends about us.
Keep your eyes on this site, as we continue to work on establishing our museum. We'll learn a lot, together…

The Museum of Hidden History is a new museum that will be located in
Washington DC for the following purposes:
♦ Preserving historical documents and research that might otherwise be lost
♦ Serving as a repository for newly-released classified files on US history since
1947, when secrecy became the norm
The Museum of Hidden History will combine a museum, an archive and a library.
It will be a research and learning center into the hidden history of the United
States, both here and abroad, with emphasis on the period from WWII to the
present. The focus of the Museum will be on revealing information, raising
questions and provoking discussion, rather than on propounding a particular
point of view or set of conclusions.
What is the Mission of the Museum of Hidden History?
♦ To inform and educate the public about little-known aspects of local, national and international history, about actively hidden history, and about alternative perspectives on history
♦ To provide a mechanism for the preservation of history that might otherwise be lost
♦ To encourage the unearthing and exposure of new aspects of history
♦ To support the release of government records that would shed light on recent American history
What is Hidden History?
♦ What we do not see because of our assumptions and mis-education
♦ What we cannot see because of our paradigms and lack of counter-narratives
♦ What we are not allowed to see by the National Security State
