I don't believe they automatically keep them, I believe there is a mechanism for you to keep them yourself. However, you would need to ask AOL through their help desk for the exact answer -- this is not the proper forum for it.
In terms of obtaining such items, if they do exist, yes, you would need a subpoena.
