Diversity in Australian Speculative Fiction: A Bibliographical Exhibition is a curated collection of works that explore diversity in all its forms: racial and ethnic diversity; physiological, neurological, and sensate diversity; diversity in gender and sexuality; and religious diversity. As well as lists of works themselves, the exhibition also includes notes on further reading.

The heart of the World War I in Australian Literary Culture dataset is the records of the works themselves. But one way to explore those is through the exhibitions created to highlight particular aspects of the collection.

This exhibition explores the rich role that adaptation has always played in Australian writing, from the early days of silent film through to high years of radio to the advent of television; from Australia itself to Britain's BBC and ITV and the US's booming film and television market; from English-language adaptations to Japanese anime, Romanian television shows, and Russian films.

The exhibitions include a variety of records (fiction, information books, film, poetry, and multimedia) relevant to children and young adults that deal with the environment in imaginative, scientific, educational, and creative ways. There are a number of components to this project clustered around key concepts and issues, such as sustainability, urban environments, and Indigenous perspectives.

The exhibitions that make up the project are not meant to be definitive but rather, contain a number of relevant texts on particular topics related to environmental issues that are intended as starting points for students, teachers and researchers of Australian Children's and Young Adult Literature on the environment. Many of the texts are relevant to the Australia Curriculum cross-priority of Sustainability.
