[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Bulk Importing Subject Headings

[Andrew Morrison]

I haven't done this myself, but I think the only way to bulk-load all 
those fields would be via an API script. That means building a JSON 
representation of each subject record, using something like Python, then 
sending it to this ArchivesSpace backend endpoint:

https://archivesspace.github.io/archivesspace/api/?python#create-a-subject

However, if just loading just the term and source fields would be good 
enough, it could be done by building an EAD or MARCXML file and loading 
that via the staff interface.

Andrew.
