Archiving Tweets from Twitter

So I just got out of a meeting between IT, the Library Archivist, and the Journalism Faculty of the University where I work. One of the things that came up is with the new media form our campus newspaper will be taking one of the things they’ll be doing is Twittering. Since this is official publication should be archived.

Does anybody know of a tool that will archive all the tweets from an account, and the direct messages and @replies to that account?

It is possible we will decide this is beyond the scope of archiving, but for now I get to figure this out.
