Easy way to move Font Collections to a new Mac?

Is there an easy way to move Font Collections to a new Mac, or must I laboriously re-create them from scratch in Font Book on the new Mac? I have about 11 Font collections on my existing Mac.

iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.10

You can export fonts and font collections by selecting them and clicking File > Export Fonts

I'm in Big Sur Beta now and if I click a collection and go Export, it changes to Export Collections.

Up to High Sierra (and probably in Yosemite that is shown as your OS in the post) I think it was just Export Fonts even when selecting collections https://support.apple.com/guide/font-book/export-fonts-fntbk1014/8.0/mac/10.13


Anyway, you should be able to export the collections and then import them to your new Mac.
