The Evolution of a Timeless Profession

Shorthand:  Ever Evolving – Ever Adapting – One of the world’s oldest professions, shorthand traces its ancestry to the Ancient Scribes, for it was the creation of writing that has enabled societies to remember, analyze, and improve upon earlier thought.

The Gallery of Shorthand proudly brings that history to the public.  Welcome to the Gallery.
