Added and Updated FamilySearch Record Collections - Week of 11 to 17 July 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 17 July 2026, there are now 6,667 searchable and full-text transcribed image collections on FamilySearch Full-Text Search this week, an increase of 4 from last week. There are over 2 BILLION "results" in the collections.  It is not possible to see which collections are new, although a clue would be the Last Updated column..

 2)  As of 17 July 2026, there are now 24,823 browsable (some indexed, none transcribed) image lections on FamilySearch Images this week, a decrease of 2 from last week. There are over 6.095 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. Note that the listing now indicates the indexed percentage of some collections.

3)  As of 17 July 2026, there are 3,461 Historical Record Collections (many indexed, many browsable) on FamilySearch (an increase of 14 from last week):

The Deleted, Added and Updated Historical Record Collections this week include:

===================================

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:

• 3,461 Historical Record Collection entries
• 13 removed entries
• 27 added entries 
• 10 updated entries
• 9 entries with more or fewer images 
• 7 entries with more or fewer records

Marshall's list shows 3,461 Historical Record Collections this week, an increase of 24 collections. The image above shows 3,461 collections, so the website number is in sync with Marshall's list number.
