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.
The image above shows 23 Full-Texst Search collections available when I aqsk it to Browse all collections. There are about 1,000 collections with "United States" in the title. So almost all of the over 6,600 collections are still there, but whatever tool that FamilySearch uses to count the number of collections is messed up. Perhaps it's a RootsTech hangover?
3) As of 27 March 2026, there are 3,423 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (a decrease of 10 from last week) on 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:
- 3,433 Historical Record Collection entries
- 0 removed entries
- 1 added entries
- 22 updated entries
- 15 entries with more or fewer images
- 0 entries with more or fewer records
