A short, honest reading list on digital legacy — the personal, practical, and cultural sides of what happens to a digital life after death.

Digital Legacy Plan

The most practical starting point on this list. Crocker and McLeod split the ground between them — the practical, how-to side of accounts and passwords, and the personal, emotional side of memorials and digital mourning — with worksheets you can actually use.

Your Digital Afterlife

An early, still-relevant book on this topic, built around the idea of naming a "digital executor" and inventorying your accounts before someone else has to guess at them. Some platform details have inevitably aged, but the core framework holds up.

Death and Digital Media

A more academic, research-driven look at how mourning, memorialization, and digital platforms intersect. Denser than the other two, but useful if you want to understand the cultural and institutional context, not just the practical steps.

This list will grow. If you've read something on digital legacy, digital estate planning, or business continuity after a founder's death that belongs here, we'd like to hear about it — send us a note.
