Information on Scheme

Does anyone know of anywhere on the web where I can go to get information on
Scheme such as it's history why it was created, what's it's uses. Other
stuff like it's sequence control functions, abstraction, data types and
stuff like that?

Steele's and Gabriel's paper "The Evolution of Lisp"
gives some information about the history of Scheme (among a lot
of other things):
