The Gregg Group was founded 22 May 2004, prompted by the lack of online shorthand resources. As the primary use for shorthand — business and legal recording — has waned in recent decades, we generally acclaim the skill as a hobby or personal tool. The purpose of the group is to promote the use of Gregg systems of shorthand by providing advice to beginners, support for students, and an association of users of this efficient, attractive, and enjoyable method of writing.
Here is a PDF with the 1893 Gregg’s Shorthand Manual. This is the 1895 edition. This has Parts 1 and 2. Previously, I have only seen Part 1. The 1893 Gregg Manual was the first version published in the United States. Apparently, there was little revisions in between Manual versions. This one shows a print year of 1895.
