New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - August 3 to 9, 2015

I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).  

As of 9 August 2015, there were 2,021 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):



The new or updated collections are:

*  Colombia, Catholic Church Records, 1600-2012; 55,554 indexed records with record images, added or updated 07 Aug 2015

*  United States Census, 1890; 6,296 indexed records without record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  United States Census, 1830; 1,824,528 indexed records with record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Texas, Marriages, 1837-1973; 1,695,783 indexed records without record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Argentina, Corrientes, Catholic Church Records, 1734-1977; Browse Images only, no index, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Brazil, Pernambuco, Civil Registration, 1804-2014; 6,762 indexed records with record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Peru, Baptisms, 1556-1930; 4,157,093 indexed records without record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Peru, Marriages, 1600-1940; 456,192 indexed records without record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015

*  Peru, Deaths, 1750-1930; 101,257 indexed records without record images, added or updated 05 Aug 2015


*  Wisconsin, County Marriages, 1836-1911; 213,905 indexed records without record images, added or updated 03 Aug 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.
