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 5 June 2026, there are now 6,668 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 2 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 5 June 2026, there are now 24,821 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image lections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 36 from last week. There are over 6.047 BILLION images in these collections. There are 2,118 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 5 June 2026, there are 3,437 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 1 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:
- 3,437 Historical Record Collection entries
- 0 removed entries
- 1 added entries
- 15 updated entries
- 11 entries with more or fewer images
- 8 entries with more or fewer records
Marshsll's list shows 3,437 Historical Record Collections this week, an increase of 1 collections. The image above shows 3,437 collections, so the Image number is in sync with Marshall's list number.
