Best beginning source I can think of is the The Louis A. Leslie Collection of Historical Shorthand Materials located within the Special Collections of the Rider University Library. http://www.rider.edu/15478_6142.htm Or contact the library at * Moore Library Special Collections Moore Library, Rider University Lawrenceville, NJ 08648-3099 * Robert Congleton Archivist (609) 896-5248 * Elise Dodeles Special Collections Associate (609) 896-7047 Hope this helps.
