[Archivesspace_Users_Group] "lost" collections after transferring between repositories/upgrades?

[Jason Loeffler]

repositories and digital objects when digital objects were transferred
between repositories.

But what you describe may be an indexing issue. Brute force approach, but
have you rebuilt the index from scratch?
