Charles Darwin notebooks that went missing for 20 years are to go on display

Two Charles Darwin manuscripts anonymously returned to Cambridge University Library more than 20 years after they were found to be missing are to go on public display for the first time this century.

The precious items were discovered to be missing in 2001. The manuscripts were initially believed to have been put on a wrong shelf, but were reported as stolen in October 2020 after the failure of extensive searches.
