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.
Today, I put a scan of the 2nd edition of Aesop’s Fables Translated into Gregg Shorthand on the Internet Archive. This book was published in 1895. The 1st edition was published in 1893. Both editions were published in Edinburgh, Scotland. The shorthand matches the rules of the 1893 Gregg’s Shorthand manual. The shorthand plates were…
Today, I put a color scan of the 1902 Gregg Shorthand Phrase Book on the Internet Archive. It matches the 1902 Preanniversary Gregg Shorthand manual. It was first published in 1902. This book was sold by Gregg until 1924 when it was replaced by a later version that matched the 1916 Gregg Shorthand Manual. This…

Hello, It has been quite a while since I last posted here, I hope everyone has had a pleasant 2025 so far. To recap, I have been learning Gregg DJS in French for a few years now, and recently felt like finally making the switch to Anniversary (i.e., Senecal). What worries me however is that…
Exmoor, in the southwest of England, has seen its share of harsh winters; one of the worst recorded was that of 1683-4. It was described by English writer Richard D. Blackmore, who gave it a whole chapter in his novel Lorna Doone. In those days there were no hedges to contain the snow. The protagonist…

Hi, everybody! I have uploaded to Archive.org a PDF containing the book written by two shorthand reporters of the Chilean Chamber Deputies, 1952 edition. I consider this book interesting because it was written by professionals in Gregg shorthand. I hope you can enjoy it (it’s in Spanish). Here’s the link. Bye.
Out of interest I got a second-hand copy of “Gregg Speed Practice Simplified” (1956 published by McGraw-Hill in a 7×5 inch format with plates by W.C.
