<p>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.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>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.<br>

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. </div>
