Added and Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - Week of 23 to 29 May 2026

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 29 May 2026, there are now 6,666 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 0 from last week. There are over 1.98 BILLION "results" in the collections.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.

 2)  As of 29 May 2026, there are now 24,857 684 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image collections on FamilySearch Images this week, an increase of 173 from last week. There are over 6.038 BILLION images in these collections.  There are 2,117 collections from the United States, 7,076 from Europe and 221 from Canada.  It is not possible to see which collections are new.

3)  As of 29 May 2026, there are 3,436 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 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:

• 3,436 Historical Record Collection entries
• 0 removed entries
• 0  added entries 
• 20 updated entries
• 19 entries with more or fewer images 
• 3 entries with more or fewer records

Marshsll's list shows 3,436 Historical Record Collections this week, an increase of 1 collections. The image above shows 3,436 collections, so the Image number is in sync with Marshall's list number.
