Hypernuclear spectroscopy with electron beams was initiated by JLab E89-009 at JLab Hall-C in 2000. After the successful pilot experiment, improved experiments introducing new experimental techniques such as RICH, new spectrometers (HKS, HES) and optimized configuration of electron spectrometer were performed at JLab Hall-A and Hall-C. In this article, progresses of the hypernuclear spectroscopy with electron beams in this decade are reviewed and future prospects of this research subject at JLab and MAMI-C are discussed.
