Don't know if they have a website but this book may be of help:

The Magnetic Measurements Handbook by Jack M. Janicke
Magnetic Research Press
A Division of Magnetic Research, Inc.
122 Bellevue Ave.
Butler, NJ 07405

I think that I bought mine directly from them 3 or 4 years ago when I was 
building a magnetometer.
