=======================================================
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!
Marshall notes that there are:
*  0 removed entries
*  0 added entries 
*  58 updated entries
*  69 entries with more or fewer images or records
The FamilySearch website says 3417 total entries on the list. Marshall's list says 3417.  In sync!
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.

I thought I read somewhere that Family Search had finished digitalizing all their microfilm holdings. Some searches in their catalogue yesterday would indicate otherwise. Perhaps I was just daydreaming that all the records I am looking for were digitalized! :>) Thanks for an additional information on this subject.
Best Regards
Pete Small
Hi Pete, they say tha they have digitized all of their microfilms. However, not all of their digitized images are available on FamilySearch for searchers who are not members of the LDS church due to access restrictions imposed by contracts with the original record providers. About 5.5 billion images are available in their Images collection, and about 25% of those are now indexed and transcribed in their Full-Text Search collections. For a non-member to access the restricted holdings you must go to a FamilySearch Center or Library (they are in many cities).
Thank you much Randy. I found one of your postings in the Blog Archive from 2021 explaining the whole thing. No wonder I was a little fuzzy! :>)
