My friend, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!
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.

Randy, Thanks for you post. I looked at "New Hampshire Civil War Service and Pension Records." https://familysearch.org/search/collection/2127318
Interesting document in this collection called "Disbursements in Aid of Families of Volunteers." It is a register of volunteers, their units, dates of Muster In, names of family members, dates aid was rendered, funds due from state, mustered out date. I had not seen one of these before. Found several people from my tree.
Here is a link to an example
