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.
