I'm trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list).
As of 18 July 2015, there were 2,018 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):
The new or updated collections are:
* France, Haute-Garonne, Toulouse, Censuses, 1872 and 1886; 247,943 indexed records with record images, added or updated 17 Jul 2015
* Philippines, Civil Registration (Local), 1888-1984; 11,684 indexed records with record images, added or updated 16 Jul 2015
* United States Census, 1820; 1,226,714 indexed records with record images, added or updated 16 Jul 2015
* Missouri, County Marriage, Naturalization, and Court Records, 1800-1991; 481,535 indexed records with record images, added or updated 15 Jul 2015
* Kentucky, Vital Record Indexes, 1911-1999; 9,865,944 indexed records without record images, added or updated 15 Jul 2015
* Switzerland, Fribourg, Census, 1834; 95,160 indexed records with record images, added or updated 15 Jul 2015

* Philippines, Pangasinan, Civil Registration, 1945-1981; 74,414 indexed records with record images, added or updated 14 Jul 2015
* Philippines, Civil Registration (Spanish Period), 1706-1911; Browse Images only, no index, added or updated 14 Jul 2015
* Australia, Tasmania, Civil Registration of Births, 1899-1912; Browse Images only, no index, added or updated 14 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.
