Sign Language history recources.(Deaf people)?

I am learning sign language in college. I have found some good recources already but would like the best ones and preferably from the most knowledgable.
i.e.(don’t go online and type in sign language and post it here, I know how to do that).
I must write a resaerch paper outlining ten points. I am particularly interested in the history of ASL, the linguistics (how the sign developed), and when sign language was illegal.

Fletch@ – Will Young – Evergreen in BSL SignSong


Sign Song Performer – Will Young – Evergreen I am a SignSong performer, I perform by signing the words to a well-known song, I translate the words of a song into sign language, and sign the words along with the music to popular songs. Lyrics: Eyes, like a sunrise Like a rainfall Down my soul And I wonder, I wonder why you look at me like that What you’re thinking, What’s behind Don’t tell me, but it feels like love [Chorus] I’m gonna take this moment and make it last forever I’m gonna give my heart away and pray we’ll stay together ‘Cause you’re the one good reason You’re the only girl that I need ‘Cause you’re more beautiful than I have ever seen I’m gonna take this night and make it Evergreen Touch, like an angel Like velvet to my skin And I wonder, Wonder why you wanna stay the night What you’re dreaming What’s behind Don’t tell me, but it feels like love [Chorus] (Don’t tell me, but it feels like love) [Chorus to end].
