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 new color scan of the 1919 Preanniversary hardback version of Alice in Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand on the Internet Archive. The description on the Internet Archive page for this pdf document includes an extensive history of the various versions and printings of Alice in Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand. There is only…
I’ve been doing some experiments with pens, inks, and transcription styles, and I’ve come up with this https://www.dropbox.com/s/3wvmi1q76ziunql/AllInTheGoldenAfternoonLewisCarroll.pdf for your consideration (one sheet as media below). I’m planning to go ahead and write out the rest of “Alice …” in this style, and I’ll watch for comments and suggestions. The purpose is to force myself to write…
I created a brand new color scan of Alice in Wonderland 1931 Anniversary Edition and uploaded it to the Internet Archives library: http://archive.org/details/AliceInWonderland-PrintedInGreggShorthand-AnniversaryEdition It is much better quality than the version that I previously scanned and put on the Internet Archives Library. My earlier black and white scan was from a Xerox copy and was…
I heard somewhere, possibly on this blog, that Alice in Wonderland has been written in Gregg. That alone is fantastic (and what a choice! that book threw my mind for loops), but I was hoping to find out if there are others(?). It would be something to have such books in a collection! Does anyone…
I just received a copy of Alice for about $8 on Amazon…if you’re looking for a copy in “paper-form” instead of digital, it will get the job done for a fraction of a “real copy” Didn’t know if anyone would be interested in this or not, but the scans used are Georgie Gregg Gingell plates….
Here is the Anniversary Edition of Alice in Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand. Attachment: AliceInWonderland_Ann.pdf (by Paul for group greggshorthand)
Attached is a comparison of Page 6 of the 1919 and 1931 editions of Alice in Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand. The 1919 Alice in Wonderland Gregg Shorthand edition conformed to the 1916 Pre-Anniversary Gregg Shorthand Manual. In 1931, the 1919 Shorthand plates were revised to conform to the 1929 Anniversary Gregg Shorthand Manual. With 154…
Some misguided book expert decided that Alice In Wonderland in Gregg Shorthand was published in 1915. That is absolutely incorrect. This conclusion was based on the printers code “D83” found on the verso of the title page. Most booksellers list the Pre-Anniversary version of Alice in Wonderland as a 1915 publication. There is considerable evidence…
I tried to post all of the links and details here, but this site won’t let me post everything. Here is a Facebook page link to work that I did to get a few Gregg Shorthand books digitized from library collections. So far, I paid to digitize: –The Sign of the Four (1919? The only…
