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 an English Text version of Masque of the Red Death by Edgar Allen Poe. It is from a 1909 Book “Selected Tales of Mystery” by Edgar Allen Poe. This can be used with the 1922 Shorthand version I posted earlier. I have not yet compared this English text to the Shorthand plates to…

Thanks to Paul’s research, we have this Dickens classic. From the info in the previous post, I made a PDF. It’s sort of slapped together, but it seems to print okay. Attachment: DickensPoorRelationPA1916_Pub1926.pdf
Here is a link to a rare Gregg Novel. It can be read online only. It is “Poor Relations Story” by Charles Dickens. It was published in 1926 in England with plates by Georgie Gregg Gingell.

Here is the English text version of Creeds of Great Business Men. The English text version will be helpful for those who are struggling to read the 1918 Pre-Anniversary or circa 1931 Anniversary Gregg Shorthand version. I am posting it because it is long out of print. It appears that no library has scanned it. …

Here is the Gregg’s Shorthand Reading Book, which was published in 1900. It matches the 1898 Gregg Shorthand Manual. The shorthand plates are very crude. They were probably written by John Gregg.
