Sobolev regularity for systems of elliptic boundary value problems

My question is about Sobolev estimates near the boundary for elliptic systems (equivalently, elliptic boundary-value problems for vector-valued functions). I am interested in results that go something like this:

Suppose we have a second-order linear elliptic system on some domain in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with a smooth boundary. Suppose also that we have a solution with some degree of Sobolev regularity (i.e. the solution belongs to $H^s$ for some $s$). If the nonhomogeneous part of the equation and the boundary data also have some given levels of Sobolev regularity, then we can conclude that the solution actually has a higher level of Sobolev regularity. Not just in the interior (i.e. not on sets that are relatively compact in a domain which we assume is open), but actually up to the boundary.

If anyone can point me toward a reference, that would be great! Thank you!
