I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).
As of 31 May 2015, there were 2,000 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 5 from last week):
The new or updated collections are:

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.
