Your university/college must have access to ProQuest which is an amazing resources for academic journal articles. Google-Scholar could be useful too.

Even though most sites provided by Google & Yahoo are not academic ini nature, from them you can come up with a lot of key words and clues for further search using more academic tools. (And that's how one should use Wikipedia - as an initial source of information rather than an authoritative one.)

Hope that helps.

You might be better asking in China History Forum (http://www.chinahistoryforum.com/index.php?), and also in the Asiatic section of your university library, who should have most of the relevant documents on CD (I assume you can reead simplified Chineese). The Vatican has most of the original Western documents and your library should have access to their digital archives.
