Google Documents allow multiple users to read and edit a document at the same time...if you go the spreadsheet or word document route and upload it, each department could log in (with personal or new work logins) and add their own posts to the document.  It doesn't answer how you are going to choose to schedule it, but it could be an easy and quick way to gather that doesn't duplicate too much work (you can copy and paste straight to facebook, and the post only gets typed once.)
 
Just an idea!

Hello,

I manage a small historical society staff.  I would like our staff to start regular postings on our Facebook page.  I need to find an efficient way to gather posts from each department - PR /Marketing, Membership/Development, Volunteers and Collections.  Our staff can be very busy and Facebook posts may seem insignificant at times, but I feel frequent postings are important to engage our over 1000 "likes".  I know the larger historical societies often have a staff member that is assigned to write daily posts, but I'm sure they still use a system to get information from various departments - that staff member can't know it all.

How have other organizations and museums handled this? Do you create a chart or spreadsheet to plan postings in advance? Or has something else worked for you?

If someone has a spreadsheet or chart that has worked well, I would appreciate a copy to use as a template. You can send it as an attachment to my email address: [log in to unmask].

I look forward to your suggestions or comments.

Thank you,

Ruth Lang
Interim Director of Administration and Operations
Fresno (CA) Historical Society
