Hi Irene, Once a handle is assigned by DSpace, it is never reused (even if the item is expunged / deleted).
The only slight exception is that if you are using the AIP Backup & Restore system, DSpace will allow you to *restore* a deleted/expunged Item and also restore its old Handle (obviously this is not really 'reusing' the handle as much as just pointing it back at the newly restored item). https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/DSDOC18/AIP+Backup+and+Restore - Tim On 8/21/2012 11:26 AM, Berry, Irene (CIV) wrote: > Hello – I have a question for the group -- > We're trying to figure something out about what happens to handles, once > an item is expunged.
