New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - July 5-11, 2015

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

As of 11 July 2015, there were 2,018 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 2 from last week):



The new or updated collections are:


*  Alabama, County Marriages, 1809-1950; 1,592,030 indexed records, with document images, added or updated 10 Jul 2015

*  Texas, County Marriage Records, 1837-1977; 1,454,505 indexed records, with document images, added or updated 10 Jul 2015

*  Spain, Province of Barcelona, Municipal Records, 1387-1950; 459,681 indexed records, with document images, added or updated 08 Jul 2015

*  Belgium, Antwerp, Civil Registration, 1588-1910; 238,573 indexed records, with document images, added or updated 08 Jul 2015

*  Germany, Saxony, Dresden, Citizens' Documents and Business Licenses, 1820-1962; Browse Images only, no search index, added or updated 07 Jul 2015

*  Iowa, State Census, 1915; 2,782,487 indexed records, with document images, added or updated 07 Jul 2015

*  Sweden, Halland Church Records, 1615-1904; index 1615-1860; Browse Images only, no search index, added or updated 06 Jul 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.
