Went? Which period of time are you referring to?
(Just a small note: no one is ordained to the office of the Pope. The Pope is a bishop, and the bishop possesses the fulness of Holy Orders. If a layman is elected though, he will be ordained first to the priesthood and then to the episcopate)

The ordination rites themselves can be found in “The Rites Volume II” (about $15-$20) or in the “Roman Pontifical” (expensive and difficult to find) Also the “ceremonial of bishops” ($30) has a play-by play of how the liturgy should go, but does not have the prayers in it.
Essentially the heart of the ordination rite within the mass is thus
Deacon: Promises to bishop and Church, Litany of the saints, Laying on of hands by bishop, prayer to holy spirit, investiture with deacon stole and the book of the gospels.
Priest: Promises to bishop and Church, Litany of the saints, Laying on of hands by bishop, prayer to holy spirit, annointing/consecration of the new priest’s hands, investiture with priest stole and chatuble, mandate to say the mass, concelebration of the mass with the bishop
Bishop: Reading of letter of appointment, Promises to the Church, Litany of the saints, laying on of hands by 3 bishops (though technically only 1 is nessessary for validity), prayer to holy spirit (with book of gospels layed upon the new bishop’s head, anointing of the head with chrism, investiture with the ring and crosier, presentation of miter, concelebration of the mass with the concecrating bishops

A man is ordained a deacon, priest, and/or bishop. One is not ordained an archbishop or pope - they have already been ordained a bishop. (if the man elected pope is not already a bishop, then he is ordained a bishop and becomes pope the momment he is ordained.)
