About
The Hidden Histories Collective (HHC) is an independent and genealogical think tank and educational platform focused on archival truth, legal classification, and historical misattribution.
At HHC, we uncover hidden histories and genealogical connections through meticulous archival research, interviews, and compelling presentations. By combining historical context with detailed genealogical analysis, we bring untold stories to light and provide a richer understanding of America's collective past.
The Hidden Histories Collective was founded by La'Chris Robinson Jordan, an OSINT analyst, genealogist and historian whose work bridges investigative research, public policy, and narrative strategy. She also serves as a Citizen Archivist with the U.S. National Archives. Ms. Jordan's lineage derives from the Cherokee (Kentucky and Ohio) and Tuscarora Nations (Halifax County, North Carolina).
