New or Updated Record Collections at FamilySearch.org - January 31 to February 6, 2016

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

As of 6 February 2016, there were 2,061 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):

*  Idaho Death Certificates, 1938-1961; 118,152 indexed records without record images, ADDED 01 Feb 2016

The asterisk used by FamilySearch is for "Recently added or updated."  I am particularly interested in new collections, for the obvious reasons.  FamilySearch does provide a listing of which collections are new or updated several days after my post.
 
My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED or UPDATED, in addition to which collections were removed.  My thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!  For instance, one collection was removed this week:

*  Utah, Weber, Ogden, John David Eccles Photograph Collection, 1951-1976

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.
