Please let me know if you want French translations; that's my thing. (Well, technically I'm a medievalist, but I started learning French because I was such a bunhead, and then I just kind of mutated.)
If you want Ballets Russes stuff, the University of Texas at Austin has the Harry Random Humanities Research Collection (or Center, now, I think), which has a fair few Ballets Russes costumes--like almost all the ones from the original production of Le Sacre du Printemps. I don't know what else they have--ephemera, certainly, and possibly also notes, designs, etc. The Bernard Taper bio of Balanchine might be a starting point for Ballets Russes stuff, though IIRC it's a bit hagiographic.
Good luck, and let me know if I can help. I have lots of random facts rattling around in my head, and might be able to save you some time.
