Hi Tom, 
A couple of culture resources for currants and gooseberries are:

BOOK:
     Currants and gooseberries culture guide / Monique Audette and Michel J. 
Lareau.  Co-published by: Horticultural R&D Centre; Agriculture and Agri-Food 
Canada, Research Branch.

WEBSITES:
Currant and Gooseberry Pests - A new photographic resource for diagnosing 
diseases, insects and other disorders of currants and gooseberries, developed 
by Kim Hummer and Joseph Postman, USDA/ARS National Clonal Germplasm 
Repository
http://www.ars-grin.gov/cor/ribes/ribsymp/ribsymp.html

Apples and Pears; Stone Fruits: Peaches, Nectarines, Plums, Apricots, and

Small Fruits of New York, New York Agricultural Experiment Station, 1925 by 
U. 
P. Hedrick. Pictorial archive of historic New York State fruit. Images are 
arranged by type of fruit: Brambles (Red and Hybrid Raspberries; Black

Gooseberries), and Strawberries. Images are in JPEG format.

EXTENSION PUBLICATIONS:
Go to USAIN's Access to Extension and Experiment Station Publications at:
http://www.usain.org/extensionpubs.html

I have the most success with the E-Answers and Plant Facts Database in 
finding 
relevant extension publications on fruits.  
FYI, currants and gooseberries are occasionally called 'bush fruits', so you 
may want to look that term up, too.
I hope this helps,
