For Tor-specific censorship, a list that is reasonably complete and up to date is: http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/~sa499/tor_timeline.pdf. It was composed by mining the Tor issue tracker and blog for events. For general censorship, I'm not aware of any systematic or complete list of censorship events. There are quite a lot of research papers that study one particular place for a period of time, and from them we know of some incidents. Here's a list of some measurement papers I'm aware of that might discuss some events. You might also look at OpenNet and Freedom House reports.
