    "The Sign of the Four" by Doyle was published in hardback printed in
    Gregg shorthand.

    http://www.indiana.edu/~liblilly/holmes/sign.shtml

    Would it be best to digitize this kind of publication using images,
    or as text?

    As stated, though, the PUA appears to be the only place for shorthand
    presently. Shorthands don't seem to be on the Roadmaps, so maybe
    no proposals exist?

    Best regards,
