Some of the lecture slides are available on-line (1 per page, 4 per page, local scanned copy).
Wikipedia has an overview of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy of proteins.
In the lecture I show Figure 3 and Table 1 from: Summers M.F. et al., 1992 (doi:10.1002/pro.5560010502). Figure 3 shows part of a NOESY spectrum; Table 1 mentions how many structural restraints of different kinds were used in solving a structure.
A method for clustering structures is described in:

A computational method for detecting structurally conserved cores in an ensemble of structures is described in:
