Hi Tilley;
What exactly are you looking for in resources?
If you're looking for a builder then you will want to locate a stove-building stone mason. It is a specialty, so not all masons can build one.
If you are looking for plans to attempt building one yourself, they are available on the Internet.
Each state has different rules on who can construct them.
An RMH with a brick bell IS an improved masonry stove, add a double skin and no insurance man would know the difference.

Depending on what type of information or resources you are looking for, I thought this website was really informative for all the different types of masonry heaters:
