Keep it on an Excel spreadsheet and then email it to myself.
You can access it anywhere you can retrieve your email.
I am interested, how does one get it?For anyone interested, I am offering a free Excel spreadsheet for your firearm inventory.

In a notebook that normally stays in my safe.
I really should keep it somewhere other than with the guns though.
Okay, guess that that one would have never crossed my mind.I tattoo them on my chest....
What happens if you sell one?I tattoo them on my chest....
In a safe deposit box at the bank, of course...
Oddly enough, the ATF has a format they recommend for this: https://www.atf.gov/firearms/docs/guide/personal-firearms-record-atf-p-33128
I keep an Excel spreadsheet of only currently-owned guns with the serial number and basic description information, and also include comments about each gun, e.g., "Grandpa's pistol" or "with Novak Lo-Mount sight installed by Novaks of Parkersburg, WV." The spreadsheet is on my desktop. I do not list sales or previously owned guns on my spreadsheet, as I keep a separate file of scanned sales receipts. An important part of my spreadsheet is the value of each gun, or what I would expect my survivors to be able to sell the gun for through consignment at a LGS or use as a guide in dividing up the spoils, after I'm gone.
Having a couple of high quality digital photos of each gun is a good idea, too. (As mentioned above, having an off-site backup of all digital information is a very good idea).
My spreadsheet and my digital file of scans of sales documents are encrypted and password protected, and I do not keep copies on my phone or the Cloud -- in a probably vain attempt to keep this information private.
If someone gets into your safe, your info is gone. There are enough hiding items to keep it where no one would look. I have what appears to be a dictionary that has a locking compartment sitting on a shelf in the bookcase rather nonchalantly. No thief is going to waste their precious time looking through that.There you go. I do the same. It worked before I had a computer and see no reason to change. I also have a copy in the safe at home. One or the other of the two structures may burn down but I doubt both will at the same time. THe bank vault would probably survive a fire but just to be safe I have two copies.
This thread reminds me, I need to do an update.
