  • For the last twenty years the historical research on textbooks and textbooks publishing increased considerably in a more and more significant number of countries. The author, relying on the analysis of an international bibliography composed by some 2000 references, attempts to underscore the reasons of this dynamism, and to characterize the main evolutions in this research area worldwide since the 1960s. The study deals with various questions of method (textbook's definition and functions, sources and bibliographies, the searcher's objectivity ...) and aims to bring out the characteristic features of a research area in which for a long time the national angle has been dominating almost exclusively.

    A triple evolution can be noted: concerning the perspectives, the textbook being studied as an editorial product or as a teaching aid, and not anymore for the contents it conveys; concerning the methods, with the development, compared to individual investigations, of ambitious programmes of group research; concerning the investigation areas, with the expansion of the subjects, the iconography and lay out analysis, and the consideration of local and transnational aspects.
