New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - March 23 to 29, 2015

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  As of 29 March 2015, there were 1,947 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 3 from last week).

*  New York, New York City Marriage Records, 1866-1938; 1,740,063 indexed records with no images 20 Mar 2015

The last three were not on last week'as list as of 22 March, so they must have been added shortly thereafter with the date of 20 March 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.
