Ingestion workflow

Agents and subjects must be ingested first, then Archival Object records. This is because the Archival Object records link to the Agents and Subjects.

Steps:

1. Agents and Subjects
2. Archival Objects

Source data

The adjoining scripts draw directly from the Google sheets containing the metadata.
