I'm looking for recommended resources on data compression; any studies on techniques, data structure and/or algorithms; any useful resources related to research, any books, organizations or any other information would be helpful.

I know it's kind of a general query, but just interested in expanding my knowledge on the subject matter.

Check this one: http://datacompression.info/ (a portal on data compression)

This 1987 survey paper on Data Compression covers the first 40 years or so and seems to be good.

On a side note, in the category of "expanding [your] knowledge on the subject matter" is this BBS Documentary of the .ARC vs. .ZIP controversy of the early 1990s. It's a fascinating look at the human side of these compression "wars."

I was an active BBS user at the time and didn't realize the full story when it was going on.
