I am trying to keep up with the new and updated record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list) every week.
As of 11 November 2017, there were 2,267 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):

============================================
The over 31 million indexed 1930 U.S. Census entries that disappeared four weeks ago are still not in the collection.
The California Marriage Index is back with the full 4,879,216 records
The 1851 England and Wales Census has returned to the full complement of 18,369,674 records.
In order to select a specific record collection on FamilySearch, go to https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list and use the "Filter by collection name" feature in the upper left-hand corner.
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.
