New or Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - March 9-15, 2015

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  As of 15 March 2015, there were 1,940 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 3 from last week).




Here are the new or updated record collections for the past week:

*  New York, Northern Arrival Manifests, 1902-1956; 160,650 indexed records, added or updated 12 Mar 2015

*  Maine, Vital Records, 1670-1907; 1,404,391 indexed records, added or updated 11 Mar 2015

*  Russia, Tula Poll Tax Census (Revision Lists), 1758-1895; Browse Images only, added or updated 11 Mar 2015

*  Nova Scotia Marriages, 1907-1932; 66,106 indexed records, added or updated  11 Mar 2015

*  Prince Edward Island Marriage Registers, 1832-1888; 20,262 indexed records, added or updated 11 Mar 2015

*  Australia, Queensland Cemetery Records, 1802-1990; 2,132,988 indexed records, added or updated 09 Mar 2015

*  New York, New York, Soundex to Passenger and Crew Lists, 1887-1921; Browse Images only, added or updated 09 Mar 2015

*  California, San Diego, Chinese Passenger and Crew Lists, 1905-1923; Browse Images only, added or updated 09 Mar 2015

*  United States, Records of the Superintendent of Education and of the Division of Education, 1864-1879; Browse Images only, added or updated 09 Mar 2015


*  Hungary, Civil Registration, 1801-1980; 316,184 indexed records, added or updated 09 Mar 2015

Unfortunately, it is difficult to tell which collections are brand new and which ones are updated.  The asterisk they use is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.

In order to select a specific collection, go to 
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.

Each one of the collections listed above has a Research Wiki page (use the "Learn more" link).  It would be very useful if the Wiki page for each collection listed the dates for when the collection was added as a new collection and the dates for major updates also.
