History of Stenography (copy)

The history of stenography, that is, of writing through use of symbols and abbreviations in order to record (usually) verbal speech quickly, is as old and varied as the history of written language itself and filled with some real characters!  Learn more through this extensive timeline, which I admit I may have gone a bit overboard on!

This timeline is easier to view and read if you click on the "full screen" icon (found at the upper right corner of the timeline).  You can scroll through the timeline using the right arrow on your keyboard or clicking the arrow icons on the right (forward) and left (backward) sides of the timeline.
