However, there are 3,489 historical record collections on the Signed In screen this week (I don't know how many there were last week). Here is the Signed In screen:

====================================
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:
- 1 removed entries
- 7 added entries
- 23 updated entries
- 9 entries with more or fewer images
- 25 entries with more or fewer records
The FamilySearch website says there are 3,489 total entries on the list (after signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3,489 (after signing in). They are definitely in-sync this week.
There are now 3,894 searchable image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 1 from last week. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
There are now 26,737 browsable image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 1 from last week. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
