Each week, I try to keep track of the number of Full-Text Search collections (indexed, searchable) and the Images collections (browsable but not searchable) -- see Sections 1) and 2) below. In addition, I list the genealogy historical record collections (often name-indexed) that are added, removed, and/or updated on FamilySearch and listed on the Historical Record Collection list -- See Section 3.
1) As of 16 January 2026, there are now 6,652 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 6 from last week. There are over 2.403 BILLION "results" in the collections. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
2) As of 16 January 2026, there are now 24,568 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 9 from last week. There are over 5.894 BILLION images in these collections. There are 2,101 collections from the United States, 6,968 from Europe and 223 from Canada. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
3) As of 16 January 2026, there are 3,429 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 2 from last week) on the Signed In screen (and 3,429 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
- 2 added entries
- 70 updated entries
- 9 entries with more or fewer images
- 0 entries with more or fewer records
The FamilySearch website says there are 3,429 total entries on the list (after signing in). Marshall's list says there are 3,429 (after signing in). They are definitely in-sync this week.
