Maybe you can take a look at former lecture notes and look up the references (especially books as they mostly provide a broader view of a topic)?

I found some archives, but these have a lot of gaps and reading on websites just confused me even more.

I would recommend to look in your local (university) library. Either you can try to look for yourself and just "browse the bookshelves" or you ask the staff. The majority of library employees are professionally trained to help you find appropriate literature.
