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 26 March 2026, there are now 6,665 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, a decrease of 15 from last week. There are over 1.914 BILLION "results" in the collections. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
2) As of 6 March 2026, there are now 24,604 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, an increase of 4 from last week. There are over 5.938 BILLION images in these collections. There are 2,100 collections from the United States, 6,901 from Europe and 221 from Canada. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
3) As of 6 March 2026, there are 3,433 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 2 from last week) on the Signed In screen (and 3,433 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:
- 3,430 Historical Record Collection entries
- 11 removed entries
- 10 added entries
- 0 updated entries
- 120 entries with more or fewer images
- 534 entries with more or fewer records
