This item is an information pack on local character Archibald Flockhart, kept in a black display folder. It contains a photocopy of a photograph of the painting 'Daft Archie' by A Geddes, as well as copies of newspaper articles, book excerpts and items such as baptism cerificate, census record and death certificate. Local historian and writer Sue Mowat's research on Archie from Fife & Kinross District Asylum's records is included. Current newspaper articles on Dundee student Rachel McGarvey's reconstruction of Archie's face - based on his skull which is held at the University of Edinburgh - explain how Archie's bust 'came home' to be displayed temporarily in Dunfermline Carnegie Library & Galleries.
