Dear Stan,
If you log into DSpace web interface as an administrator and then navigate
to a collection you will see the "export metadata" link on the sidebar.
This will download a CSV file where one of the columns will be
"collection". You can change the collection there and re-upload it to
DSpace via the "import metadata" function on the web interface. The items
will move to the new collection.
You also have the option to "map" items from one collection to another.
When you do this the item stays in its "owning collection" and is simply
mapped to the other so it appears in both.
Regarding the links to the handles, they are persistent and will always
work for an item no matter where it is in the DSpace hierarchy of
communities and collections. Make sure to always use the real Handle links
when linking to these items in publications, social media, emails, etc
because they will always work even if you change the URL or domain name of
your repository: https://hdl.handle.net/10587/1915
