I've probably just missed this news, so apologies if it's been posted 
before (and perhaps it was "big news" at popular media outlets, and I've 
just not been paying attention), but, anyway, I thought you all might be 
interested in this:

"The Capa Cache
  Tony Cenicola/The New York Times

  Thousands of negatives of photographs taken by Robert Capa during
  the Spanish Civil War, long thought to be lost forever, have
  resurfaced.

  TO the small group of photography experts aware of its existence,
  it was known simply as “the Mexican suitcase.” And in the pantheon
  of lost modern cultural treasures, it was surrounded by the same
  mythical aura as Hemingway’s early manuscripts, which vanished
  from a train station in 1922.

To give credit where due, I came across it via 'The Online Photographer' 
blog:
