In December 2007, three boxes full of rolls of film, that contains 4,500 35mm negatives from the Spanish Civil War by Robert Capa, Gerda Taro, and Chim (David Seymour), which have been considered lost since 1939, showed up in the Worldwide Center of Photography.

The work they do has lengthy been considered probably the most innovative and passionate coverage from the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939).
