I am keeping track of the new and updated historical record collections at FamilySearch (https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list) every week.
As of 21 June 2024, there are 3,364 historical record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 3 from last week):
--- Collections Added ---
* Canada Census, 1931 (https://familysearch.org/sea
--- Collections Updated ---
There are over 1,120 coollections on the list. There were about that many last week also.
I don't think that listing them all is a good use for my time or for the Internet.
=======================================================
My friend and SDGS colleague, Marshall, has come up with a way to determine which collections are ADDED, DELETED or UPDATED, and to alphabetize the entries in each category. Thanks to Marshall for helping me out here!
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 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.
