Each week, genealogy record collections are added, removed, and/or updated on FamilySearch and listed on the Historical Record Collection list at https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list. In addition, I try to keep track of the number of Full-Text Search collections (indexed, searchable) and the Images collections (browsable but not searchable).
1) As of 24 October 2025, there are 3,405 historical record collections on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week) on the Signed In screen (and 3,404 on the Signed Out 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:
- 0 removed entries
- 0 added entries
- 75 updated entries
- 27 entries with more or fewer images
- 11 entries with more or fewer records
The FamilySearch website says there are 3,405 total entries on the list (after signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3,405 (after signing in). They are definitely in-sync this week.
2) There are now 5,853 searchable image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 756 from last week. There are over 1.562 billion "results" in the collections. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
3) There are now 25,608 browsable (but not indexed or transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 184 from last week. There are 2,098 from the United States, 7,187 from Europe and 225 from Canada. It is not possible to see which collections are new. Where did those removed collections go? They probably went to the Full-Text Search collection list.
