I've found it rather difficult to do research on Francis Bacon, half the battle seems to be sifting through conspiracy nonsense online that relate to him. But I would like to learn more about his life and how he contributed to the scientific revolution.
What are some good books or other resources for continuing to learn about this man?
The best place to start would be The Cambridge Companion to Bacon edited by Peltonen. It's a collection of essays intended to serve as introductions to various aspects of his thought. Malherbe's essay on Bacon's method and Perez-Ramos on his legacy may be the most useful for what you are looking for.
In terms of a biography, the article in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography would be a strong place to start and is short enough to be read in one sitting. It is available online, and if you are at university, your library may have a subscription. Most of Bacon's biographies also deal with his political life and his non-scientific philosophy. Zagorin, Francis Bacon outlines some of the differences between the two aspects of Bacon's life.
Bacon's writings themselves are most accessible online through either Archive.org or google books. There are 14 volumes edited by James Spedding. 7 volumes are Bacon's letters mixed with narrative by the editor on his life, and 7 volumes are his major works.
