Diversity Diversity is the description of a range of visible and non-visible differences that exist between people. The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council and its Regional Agencies will promote diversity that celebrates these differences, promotes inclusion and creates a productive environment in which everybody feels valued, where talents are fully utilised and in which individual, community and organisational goals are met. (Adapted from Diversity in Action by Kandola and Fullerton, 1994).
