125 years of history On September 26th 1887 in the hall of the Geological Museum, London, the first Congress of INTERSTENO was opened. Born of an idea of Sir John Westby Gibson to celebrate 300 years of the 'modern shorthand' it enabled the 400 participants to spend a whole week discussing the themes of shorthand in parliaments and the courts of justice, and its influence on education and in the female world.

Wireless radio had not yet been invented by Marconi, the telephone was a mysterious object, the designers of automobiles had taken their first

footsteps, typewriting was a curiosity looked upon with distrust and still produced at handicraft level. Stenographers at that age assured the recording of parliamentary debates and their diffusion through the newspapers, which received the texts via the telegraph, the principal source of news transmis-sion. During the opening speech, the hope that the Congress would not be an isolated event was expressed. The decision to continue was consolidated, a tradition that today is still alive. Almost every two years, with some interruptions around the world wars, congresses were scheduled, mostly in Europe but also in Chicago and Beijing. In 2012 INTERSTENO celebrates her 125th anniversary during the council meeting in Prague, end of September. In 2013 the 49th INTERSTENO congress will be held in Ghent (Belgium).
