I've seen great photos and lots of detail on the ISS, but where can I
get a basic diagram of what the modules are please?

Diagrams tend to get out of date (due to station assembly proceeding,
planned modules getting cancelled, and the order of assembly getting
reshuffled), but perhaps
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/station/structure/iss_assembly.html
or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_space_station would be
helpful. Both of them have lists of modules, and hopefully enough
photos and such to identify which modules are which.

I've always liked this manifest to show the assembly sequence:

You can see the various modules as they get added.

Bill Harwood does good work.

Thanks; that is a good one. nasa.gov used to have something similar,
but this one is nicely arranged and seems to be up to date as well.
