Digital Legacy Association

The Digital Legacy Association is the professional body raising awareness and improving areas relating to digital assets planning and digital legacy safeguarding.

The Digital Legacy Association is the only professional body dedicated to digital assets and digital legacy. Since launching at Hospice UK’s annual conference in 2015, our mission has been to help ensure that everyone’s end of life wishes are met both in the physical world and the digital realm.

We are a ‘not for profit’ and our work includes supporting the general public, advising governmental organisations, social networks charities and other organisations to better support the public with their digital assets and digital legacy. We run training courses, develop best practices, publish resources and organise the annual Digital Legacy Conference. The Digital Legacy Conference has taken place in New York, Berlin, Rotterdam, Bern, London and online.

The Digital Death Survey explores how technology is changing society's attitudes and behaviours in areas relating to care planning, death and bereavement. The secondary purpose of the survey is to familiarise participants with the importance of making plans for their increasingly complex, digital lives ensuring that appropriate plans are made for themselves, their digital possessions and those they care about.

The Digital Death Survey 2024 is being conducted by James Norris of the Digital Legacy Association (UK) in conjunction with Professor Carla Sofka at Siena College (USA).

The data collected is anonymous and will be made available for free (open access) within the ‘Digital Death Report’. This will be published in early 2025.

The Digital Death Report will help academics, healthcare professionals and policy makers better understand the importance of people’s digital assets and digital legacy. This will lead to advancements within the sectors in which professionals work, improve levels of care and increase levels of self-empowerment at a population level..

Early access to the Digital Death Report will be provided to those who complete the Digital Death Survey and choose to add their email in order to receive the report by email.
