Digital Legacy: Accessing the digital world of your loved one

I’ve mentioned digital legacies already in this blog: Here and here. In this section, I will be writing, uploading and linking to some practical information about digital legacies.

There are two aspects to this: One is accessing the digital legacy of our loved one who has passed away. Second is the preparation of our own digital legacy.

Before I go any further, I want to acknowledge that much of the content in this section is courtesy of Vered (Rose) Shavit, author of Death In The Digital Era: A Useful Guide. Please view the original document on her blog here
