This wikipedia article has some pretty great sources. The article actually sites the mission reports from 1970, as well as the photographs and materials collected. Most of the cited sources come from published books or government websites (Nasa and the Smithsonian Air and Space Museums).
The article discusses media depiction, the physical location of artifacts from the mission, as well as accounts of stunts and pranks pulled in the course of this mission– my favorite being the assertion that Alan Bean left his silver astronaut’s wings in a crater on the moon. The article also gives a timeline of the mission, and general mission parameters.
This article also has an extensive editing history– indicating that there are people out there who really care about it. Interestingly, I couldn’t find any edits that indicated vandalism in the form of moon-landing deniers. I did expect a little bit of content vandalism.
