[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Moving/transferring an archival object as its own resource record

[Mary Weppler]

Hello Andrew,

Thank you very much for providing these solutions!  I believe your first idea, to manually create the resource and then transfer the child record to the new resource, would work perfectly for our configuration.  Thank you again!!

It would be possible to manually create a resource to replace the first archival object, then use the API to transfer all the archival objects descended from it to the new resource. Whether that is an option for you, or not, I don't know.


An easier alternative, but one that would change all the PUI URLs of all the descendant archival objects, would be to export as EAD, rearrange that outside ArchivesSpace, then import it as a new resource.


Andrew.

Hello all!

I am looking for a way to move an archival object (with child records) up to the first level as its own resource record.  I know that I can transfer an archival object to an accession, but I've had information disappear when doing so and am hesitant to use this method.

Thank you in advance for any help with this question!
