Arthur Nicholls Taylor was a prominent Provo Businessman (one of the founders of Dixon-Taylor-Russell Company and other enterprises). He and his wife, Maria Dixon Taylor had eight children (Arthur Dixon, Lynn Dixon, Elton LeRoy, Henry Dixon, Alice Louise, Clarence Dixon, Orson Kenneth, and Ruth Elaine). Among their descendants are bishops, stake presidents, mission presidents, patriarchs, and general authorities of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Books or other records have been written by or about all of Arthur and Maria's children. Family and personal histories written by Clarence Dixon Taylor, the most prolific author among the children are excellent genealogical resources for the entire family both here and abroad, and others, and will be of even greater interest with the passage of time.

All surviving books or other documents have been digitized by the Harold B. Lee Library Special Collections. While all of these titles are on the shelves of the Lee Library, other institutions, or in private hands, all are now available digitally and may be read online.
