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.
Tada! Once the uploads are done, the project will be done. The site will have all the passages that have transcripts in the appendix of Gregg Simplified Functional Edition 2, copyright 1949, printed 1955. Same notes as before.

Is anyone using the Simplified files? Will anyone but me be disappointed if the project isn’t finished? I’m tempted to restart the project with Anniversary material. It’s online, so with any luck I can use OCR to get the text files. There’s also much more learning material available. For those who want the Simplified project…
Dear shorthanders, Attached here is “The Vocabulary of the Gregg Shorthand Manual: Anniversary Edition.” This is actually a surprisingly useful little resource. It refers to every word used in the manual by unit and page number, so that a shorthand writer doesn’t just memorize each word he looks up in a dictionary, but learns the…
This is the Teacher’s Key to the first Speed Building book for Anniversary, an intermediate level text which is still readily available. Although subsequent Speed Building books—the One-Year Course for high schools and the college course—have a greatly enlarged vocabulary, as well as additional grammatical helps for skill in transcription, the old ’32 edition has…
Graded Readings is essential reading material for those starting out and is easily obtainable. I think we now have available most of the keys to the basic materials for beginning Anniversary students! 😀 Attachment: Graded Readings 1930.pdf
