Hello:

Congratulations. It is a lot of work, but it is worth the effort. As  
for references, there are two that immediately come to mind, and that  
are well known to anyone who has been reading Pound: Carroll F.  
Terrell's A Companion to the Cantos of Ezra Pound, and William  
Cookson's A Guide to the Cantos of Ezra Pound.

Another excellent (and relatively brief) book you might wish to  
consider is George Kearns Ezra Pound: The Cantos.

Take care.
