New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - October 25-31, 2015

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

As of 1 November 2015, there were 2,043 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):




The new or updated collections are:

* Washington, Seattle, Passenger and Crew Lists of Airplanes, 1947-1954; Browse Images only, no indexed records, added or updated 30 Oct 2015

* United States Census, 1910; 93,753,799 indexed records with record images, added or updated 30 Oct 2015

* Germany, Prussia, Westphalia, Minden, Miscellaneous Collections from the Municipal Archives, 1574-1902; 58,932 indexed records with record images, added or updated 29 Oct 2015

* Japan Passenger Lists, 1893-1941; 94,842 indexed records without record images, added or updated 29 Oct 2015

*  Ontario Births, 1869-1910; 2,094,890 indexed records with record images, added or updated 28 Oct 2015

*  New Zealand, Auckland, Albertland Index, 1862-1962; 31,194 indexed records with record images, added or updated 28 Oct 2015

*  Philippines, Manila, Civil Registration, 1899-1984; 1,813,161 indexed records with record images, added or updated 27 Oct 2015


*  Nova Scotia Delayed Births, 1837-1904; 143,618 indexed records with record images, added or updated 27 Oct 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.
