Public posts are already visible to anyone. The archive contains everything — posts set to Friends Only, Close Friends, custom audiences, and Me Only.
See what the document looks like
Extracted from a real Facebook archive spanning 2008 to 2026. Timestamps, post numbers, and photo metadata are preserved exactly as they appear in the original archive. Post text, photos, file paths, and names have been replaced with placeholders.
Flip through to see the table of contents, main timeline, and all five appendices. On desktop, click any year or month in the table of contents to jump directly to that section.
What the Timeline contains
Every item with actionable information is included, numbered, and traceable to its source file. Nothing of merit is filtered or omitted. The original archive remains intact.
Five appendices capture what lives outside the main feed
The main timeline contains every post in chronological order. The appendices capture evidence that does not appear there.
Uncategorized Photos
Photographs present in the archive that cannot be attributed to a specific post. Included for completeness. Some may also appear in the main timeline under a different file path.
Posts on External Pages and Profiles
Every post the archive owner made on another person’s or organization’s page is collected in Appendix B (if it does not appear in the main timeline). The destination page is not recorded in the archive data, but the content and exact timestamp are preserved.
Photos and Videos Featuring the Archive Owner
Every instance where another user tagged the archive owner in a photo or video — tagger name, date, and Facebook media ID. That ID is the filename of the image in the posting party’s archive. If a Timeline has been produced for both parties, searching the other document for that ID locates the identical image. The ID may also be cited in a legal request to Meta to produce the original media.
Location Check-ins
Every location where the archive owner was tagged or checked in, with a precise timestamp. Check-ins are self-reported by the account holder at the time they occurred.
Event Responses and Invitations
Every Facebook event the archive owner was invited to or responded to — event name, scheduled dates and times, and the response: Joined, Interested, Declined, or Invited with no recorded response. The record of awareness is preserved regardless of whether the account owner attended.
Things that don’t appear anywhere else
Scrolling a Facebook profile shows public posts. The archive shows everything — and it shows things about those posts that the profile never reveals.

Two documents. One complete record.
Each product transforms a Facebook archive into a document built for legal use — paginated, timestamped, and ready for your existing workflow. Every delivery includes the complete document with all appendices populated.
Recap Legal Timeline
A complete, paginated record of posts and photos within a specified date range. Every post assigned a sequential number and exhibit label. Full timestamps. Archive file paths. Hyperlinked table of contents by year. Bates-stampable with Adobe Acrobat.
Recap Legal Messenger
The complete Facebook Messenger history from an archive. Both sides of every conversation, organized by contact. Full timestamps on every message. One of the most significant capabilities of the Facebook archive — and invisible to attorneys who don’t know the archive exists.
Timeline + Messenger Bundle
Both products on the same archive. The complete record of posts, photos, and private conversations in two coordinated documents.
Enterprise Pricing — For Firms That Use Archives Regularly
Firms that integrate Recap Legal into their standard discovery workflow can purchase units in advance at a discount. One use of either Timeline or Messenger counts as one unit. Units are allocated case by case as needed.
Enterprise pricing is discussed during consultation. Contact us to talk through which tier fits your case volume.
