About the Rotterdam Centre for Modern Maritime History
Since 2014, the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (Department of History) and the Maritime Museum Rotterdam have been collaborating within the Rotterdam Centre for Modern Maritime History. The aim is to promote synergy between academia and museums in the field of maritime heritage. The Centre coordinates and promotes academic research into the history of Dutch shipping after 1800. The collaboration enhances the valorization of the scientific research carried out at the Erasmus University by applying the results to the management of the collections and to the public products of the Maritime Museum.
