Well, your first stop should be CERN's intro to the WWW at:
http://info.cern.ch/hypertext/WWW/TheProject.html
This will give you a history of the Web, it's original intent, etc.
You should next look at the WWW FAQ. It's posted every four days to
comp.infosystems.www.users, comp.infosystems.www.providers,
comp.infosystems.www.misc and alt.hypertext.
You can get an ASCII text version of the FAQ via ftp from:
rtfm.mit.edu/pub/usenet/news.answers/www/faq
The latest version of the FAQ is on the Web at:
http://siva.cshl.org/~boutell/www_faq.html
The FAQ will give you pointers to the HTML Primer, the Beginner's Guide
to HTML and to more in-depth sources.
You might also want to check out a paper prepared by Kevin Hughes:
"Entering the World Wide Web: A Guide to Cyberspace". It's available as
a .ps, .tar, .txt and .zip file. It's available via ftp at:
ftp.eit.com/pub/web.guide/guide.61/
Hope this helps and enjoy!
Regards,
Cecilia
