A basic introduction is available via Games Workshop, and a general overview can be found on the Warhammer_40,000 page on Wikipedia. Beyond that, there is an enormous amount of information available in the Codexes. Games workshop produces a Codex for each race which contains a lot of backstory as well as units and rules specific to that race. |

You can also hit up the Lexicanum for relatively detailed historical entries; just bear in mind that being a wiki, there is some information on there that is of disputed quality. |

On the official part, GW has also the Astronomican with some articles On the unnoficial, apart from the already mentioned Lexicanum, warhammer40k.wikia.com has also a lot of background (generic, not as unit-level deep as Lexicanum). |
