As mentioned, "Haggadah" means "narration", "telling", or "recital" in Hebrew, and derives from the biblical commandment in Exodus 13:8 by G-d to Moses and the Hebrews: "You shall tell your son on that day: it is because of what the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt...".
The earliest illuminated Sephardic Passover Haggadah is the opulent Golden Haggadah from Barcelona, Spain circa 1320.

For example, this Haggadah text presents the ancient Palestinian rite of the Passover service which not only omits the "four sons" but has only three of the ritual questions instead of the now traditional four.
Besides abridging the service substantially, the Union Haggadah, the first Haggadah printed by the Reform movement in the United States, also included such things as musical notation for instrument accompaniment, numerous pictures, appropriate poetry readings and an appendix explaining the various rites and symbols of the Seder for those unfamiliar with this ritual.

 Karaite Passover Haggadah: Introduction
Unlike the Rabbis, the Karaites do not claim that their Haggadah is the required text which must be read in order to fulfil the requirement of commemorating our redemption from Egypt; such a text does not exist or it would have been commanded in the Torah.
Unlike the Rabbanite Haggadah, the Karaite Haggadah does not tell stories about Mishnaic Rabbis or delve into Midrashic corruptions of the Biblical narrative but instead uses Biblical quotations to tell the story of the Exodus, interspersed with short explanations and blessings.
The "Blessing after the Meal", which takes up about a third of the Haggadah in the Egyptian version and about a fourth in the Russian version, is identical in the two versions except that the Russian version omits the section from "These are the feasts" until "as he hath commanded us".

 Ohr Somayach :: Pesach :: The History of the Haggadah
The word Haggadah comes from the Torah command - "And you shall tell (v'Higadeta) your children on that day..." Although the minimal fulfillment of this mitzvah is a simple recounting of the going out of Egypt and explaining a few of the Pesach symbols, proper fulfillment requires much more.
The metamorphosis of the Haggadah concluded in the late middle ages, aided by the invention of the Printing Press, which enabled the basic Ashkenazic version which had been endorsed by the Ari z"l to be accepted even in Sephardic communities.

 Judaic Treasures of the Library of Congress: The Washington Haggadah
Even more than the megillah of Esther, the Haggadah which is read in Jewish homes at the Passover seder, and which tells of the Exodus from Egypt, has been reproduced in many and varied forms of artistic decoration.
What appeals most to this observer about the Washington Haggadah is its economy of decoration and its use of the illustrations, even their place upon the page, to express a point of view.
Its modest size, six inches by nine, indicates that it was meant to be used at the seder table, and the pale wine stains on its vellum bear witness that it was.

 Showcases :: Golden Haggadah
A haggadah is a collection of Jewish prayers and readings written to accompany the Passover ‘seder’;, a ritual meal eaten on the eve of the Passover festival.
The ritual meal was formalised during the 2nd century, after the example of the Greek ‘symposium’, in which philosophical debate was fortified by food and wine.
The Haggadah was traditionally the most lavishly decorated of all Jewish sacred writings, giving well-to-do Jews of the middle ages a chance to demonstrate their wealth and good taste as well as their piety.
