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.

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:
- 3,447 Historical Record Collection entries
- 1 removed entries
- 3 added entries
- 18updated entries
- 11 entries with more or fewer images
- 7 entries with more or fewer records
