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 4 August 2018, there were 2,349 record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 from last week):
The deleted. added or updated collections are (as Marshall provided them):

============================================
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 and use a keyword (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords..
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.
Note that they added images to the El Paso Alien Arrivals collection and removed images from the Nebraska Marriages collection. There is a good reason to check each collection when it is added or updated - perhaps your ancestor's record has been added, and if you capture the image of a record you will have it if the images are removed for some reason.
