Cambridge University is just one Library with archive material for scientific reference. They reported Chares Darwin's original notebooks missing two decades ago. Imagine their joy when the books were returned.



Charles Darwin The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin The Zoology of the Voyage of the HMS Beagle, Part 4 Fish/Part 5 Reptiles by Charles Darwin

"Two Charles Darwin manuscripts that were reported as stolen from Cambridge University Library have been anonymously returned in a pink gift bag, with a typed note on an envelope wishing a Happy Easter to the librarian.

The precious items were found to be missing in 2001, but at the time staff believed they may have been mis-shelved.

They carried out extensive searches in the library � which is home to around 10 million books, maps, manuscripts and other items � but in October 2020 they were reported as stolen to Cambridgeshire Police.

The force launched an investigation and notified Interpol, with the university making a worldwide appeal for information."
