History of connections

Are there any good detailed historical sources about development of connections on vector/principal bundles over the last 100 years?

The best source I am aware of is Michael Spivak's 5 volume opus, but this is not detailed enough for the project I have in mind (I am intending to set this as a topics essay for my first year graduate differential geometry class, and I want to make sure I know enough myself first!).
