History of SignWriting Shorthand

SignWriting Shorthand in the 1980's looked like this, written in the Receptive Viewpoint:

 

 

"SignWriting Shorthand For Sign Language Stenography" was the title of a textbook by Valerie Sutton teaching the Shorthand in 1982. At that time, a new profession called "Sign Language Stenography" was under development. Experiments were made with recording signs at speed in classrooms. Stenographers learned how to write without looking at their hands. Here is a picture of the shorthand table and booklet of the 1980's:


 

SignWriting Shorthand in the year 2007
