Could be interesting. I have a fairly pristine copy of NetWare 3.12 I've been waiting to dust off, but it'll probably only go to a VM for me (I've divested most/all of my older PC hardware). If I don't do anything with it, I'll be happy to pass it on.

To my knowledge no one has done an exhibit about Novell / Netware networking at least directly. I envision a simple file sharing network installed on some MS DOS 5-era machines, a simple email system, security features, etc to illustrate the product.
As with VMS, Novell declined in usage when TCP/IP became dominant. Not a lot of people know that Novell helped commercialize SUSE Linux.
There is a good story here, someone with experience with Novell should take it up.
