Scotland's National Library Unites Hutton's Geology with Singin' in the Rain

Scotland's National Library opened its *Rain* exhibition juxtaposing James Hutton's 18th-century manuscript on rainfall—foundational to modern geology—against a 1952 press book for *Singin' in the Rain*. The pairing spans two centuries of seeing rain differently: as measurable scientific phenomenon versus cultural spectacle. Drawing across poetry, literature, music, and film, it surfaces archival holdings normally separated by discipline.
