ArchiveSocial, a social media archiving software for government agencies, law enforcement officials, and K-12 school districts, has acquired NextRequest, a provider of FOIA software that empowers governments to easily manage public records requests.

“We are excited to have NextRequest join the ArchiveSocial family,” said Ray Carey, CEO ArchiveSocial.  “We have a common heritage through Code for America and have remained steadfast with the goal to improve our communities through open dialogue and trusted, transparent communication.”

“With the accelerated growth in public records requests, it is crucial to have tools to ease the burden on both the requester and the government agencies that fulfil the requests,” said Reed Duecy-Gibbs, CEO and Founder of NextRequest. “We look forward to joining forces with ArchiveSocial, bringing together our complementary services and technologies.”
