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 3 July 2026, there are now 6,658 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, a decrease of 0 from last week. There are over 2 BILLION "results" in the collections. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
2) As of 3 July 2026, there are now 24,821 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image lections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 2 from last week. There are over 6.080 BILLION images in these collections. There are 2,118 collections from the United States, 7,077 from Europe and 223 from Canada. It is not possible to see which collections are new.
3) As of 3 July 2026, there are 3,445 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, many browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 0 from last week):

===================================
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:
- 3,445 Historical Record Collection entries
- 2 removed entries
- 2 added entries
- 10 updated entries
- 9 entries with more or fewer images
- 12 entries with more or fewer records
Marshall's list shows 3,445 Historical Record Collections this week, an increase of 0 collections. The image above shows 3,445 collections, so the website number is in sync with Marshall's list number.
