Social media archiving for government

A system of record built on one promise:

Nothing is lost.

Brolly captures every post, comment, edit and deletion across your agency's social channels — complete, in context, and ready for any records request. No screenshots. No gaps. No caps.

Capture starts the day you connect your accounts.

Why agencies archive

The screenshot folder isn't an archive.

Your agency's social channels are public records — every post, and every comment underneath it. Manual capture was never built for that.

Edits and deletions vanish

The riskiest records are the ones that disappear. By the time anyone thinks to screenshot a comment, it's often already gone.

Screenshots carry no metadata

No timestamps, no context, no authenticity. An image of a post is hard to defend when the record itself is questioned.

The conversation is a record too

Comments, replies and reactions on official accounts fall under public records laws. Manual capture misses most of them.

Requests take days, not minutes

Digging through folders and platform exports under a statutory deadline is where manual processes break.

Getting started

Live in days. Complete from day one.

No migration project, no IT backlog. Connect your accounts and the record starts writing itself.

CONNECT

Connect your accounts

Secure, read-only connections to your official channels — done in under an hour. Capture begins immediately.

BACKFILL

Your history fills in

Brolly imports the available history from each platform, so your archive doesn't start at zero.

OPERATE

Request-ready from week one

Search, export and respond the moment a request lands. Already with another archiving vendor? There's a zero-gap migration path →

Common questions

Straight answers.

Is government social media really a public record?+

Yes — in all 50 states. Posts, comments, edits and deletions on official accounts are subject to public records laws, which is why capture must be complete, not periodic.

We keep screenshots — isn't that enough?+

Screenshots miss edits, deletions and most of the comment thread, and they carry no metadata — which makes them hard to defend when a record is questioned. A real archive captures everything automatically, with timestamps and context intact.

What happens when a resident deletes a comment?+

It's already in the archive. Brolly captures content in near-real time, so deleted and edited content is preserved with its full history and a deletion timestamp.

Which platforms does Brolly archive?+

Facebook, Instagram, Threads, X, YouTube, LinkedIn and TikTok, with more in active development. Ask us about your specific channel mix during the demo.

How long does setup take?+

Most agencies connect their accounts in under an hour. Capture starts immediately, and your team is request-ready within the first week.

We already use an archiving vendor — can we switch?+

Yes. Brolly runs in parallel with your current vendor, backfills your history straight from the source platforms, and your existing export stays retained and producible — no gap in the record. See how migration works →

How is Brolly priced?+

You'll get a transparent quote within one business day — with no usage caps on archived volume, so a busy month never costs you extra.
