There are several comments here that involve other people doing things over the generations. Printing stuff, reminiscing or reflecting on anniversaries, taking legal and fiscal responsibility, etc etc.
Has anyone here been on the other end of the equation? By which I mean, has anyone here been born into a family with a similar ongoing situation?
The most effective way might be to create a work of art or science or whatever that is of such significance that others are motivated to archive and disseminate or for you. So... a trite answer might be... inspire others to memor(ial)ise you. Good luck with that :)
PS. I initially intended to mention the Rosetta project and I'm glad to see that here. Philosophers, economists, psychologists and many others have written plenty about issues with archiving, definitely worth looking into.
PPS. I'm also very pleased to see a reference to Ozymandias. I was thinking about the Buddhist philosophy that, simply, _suffering exists_. It would be worth examining your motivations. Not that I disagree with them; quite the opposite.
