=============================================

My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, provides this list to me from a program he wrote that compares the current FamlySearch record collections list to the previous week's list.

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 keywords (e.g. "church england") to find collections with those keywords.

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.

Why would records be removed from a collection?

Hi Robin,

Thanks for the comment.

Records of a specific collection are removed from FamilySearch because the contract of FS with the repository that holds them or permitted FS to image them expired. Often, the contract is negotiated and the collection returns. Sometimes, the collection never returns or returns with only the index without the images. It's all done by contract, which has a fixed time. Sometimes, the repository permits images if FS will provide them with an index. Ancestry and other record indexers and providers are similar.
