- The Whole Earth Catalog was a counterculture magazine and product catalog published from 1968 to 1998, focusing on self-sufficiency, ecology, and DIY culture.
- CoEvolution Quarterly, founded in 1974 by Whole Earth Catalog staff, explored interdisciplinary topics and lasted for 10 years.
- The Whole Earth Software Catalog, proposed in 1984, aimed to recommend the best computing tools but was a business failure, publishing only twice.
- Whole Earth Review, founded in 1985, merged Whole Earth Software Review and CoEvolution Quarterly, continuing the tradition of tool reviews and ecological topics.
- Whole Earth Magazine (1997-2002) was a continuation of Whole Earth Review, with an updated slogan focusing on tools, ideas, and practices.
- Whole Earth also published special thematic publications, often reprinting articles from prior journals with new content.
