Yes. The archive takes an std::ostream argument so instead of using
std::ofstream, you can just use std::ostringstream.

   std::ostringstream buffer;
   boost::archive::text_oarchive archive(buffer);
   // Do you serialization here
   archive << value;
   // The result can be extracted from the stringstream
   std::cout << buffer.str() << std::endl;

Likewise for the input archives, where you use std::istringstream
instead.
