The present contribution, concerning the three years period 2010-2012, starts off a specialised bibliographical overview (articles published in journals, monographs, collections of essays, proceedings and textbooks) concerning the studies and researches about the history of education edited around the world. From 2014, this overview will by annual and will exclusively focus on the scientific publication of the previous year. At the basis of the enterprise there are different motivations. The first purpose is to offer the scholars an effective tool for bibliographical updating and the second one, not less relevant, is to provide a completed and systematic overview of studies and researches in this field not limited to the national neither to the continental dimension. In order to build such work tool, addressed in particular to the scholars of history of education and of children’s literature, one believed it opportune to systematically go throught an outstanding quantity of national and international specialized Publishers’ catalogues (historical studies, social and human sciences, educational sciences), as well as throught the catalogues of almost 120 scientific reviews belonging to the same field or related to it, published in the main European countries (Italy, United Kingdom, Spain, Germany, France, Switzerland, Hungary, Ireland, Holland, Russia, Bulgaria, Poland, Cyprus, Albania), in the American continent (USA, Canada, Colombia, Chile, Brazil, Argentina) and in other parts of the world (Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Israel and South Africa)
