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.
British statesman Henry Peter Brougham, who famously designed the brougham horse carriage in the 19th century, studied natural sciences, mathematics, and law in the University of Edinburgh, and wrote the preface to the scientific encyclopedia The Circle of Sciences. I transcribed an extract of the preface in Centennial Gregg for the blog.

Your ability to produce “textbook model” shorthand material is phenomenal.
There was a time when I was younger when I could write like that, but not as consistently. As I’ve gotten older, writing well by hand (both longhand and shorthand) has gotten more challenging.

Thanks Lee. I try to make these as legible as possible. The funny thing is that nowadays I’m writing more shorthand than longhand!
