Rotterdam UNESCO Erasmus collection

The Rotterdam UNESCO Erasmus collection is a set of books, manuscripts and documents by or about the humanist Desiderius Erasmus, who was born in Rotterdam, held by the Rotterdam public library. It is recognised on UNESCO's Memory of the World Register, which lists documentary heritage considered important to humanity. It matters here because it is the city's main archive of Erasmus-related material, and items from it are regularly studied and displayed.
