New record collection
Hi,
I just want to know where I can recommend a new collection for indexing. I know of a government collection that currently is not available to be searched and would like to see this available to descendants of those lines.
Is there a link I can do this or someone who I can speak with about this possibility?
Hope to hear a response soon, hoping even more for a positive response. :)

You can certainly make a suggestion for a new indexing project. Hopefully a FS staff member will read this and acknowledge they have received your suggestion.
But be aware that FamilySearch needs the permission of the record owner before it can have the records indexed. That permission may not be granted, or it may take several rounds of negotiations before the owner finally agrees.

'G'Day', it's 'Brett'
Welcome to the "Community.FamilySearch" Forum.
I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
Just in passing ...
I will get in contact with you; or, you can get in contact with me.
IF, it's from "Downunder" (Aus); THEN, really, not that many of ours; as, we would like, are either, "Indexed"; or, "Images", 'On-Line', in 'FamilySearch'.

If the records have already been filmed by FamilySearch, but are not indexed, it is my understanding, based on comments I have previously seen in this community, and contrary to the posts above, that it is NOT currently possible to suggest that a particular set of records be indexed.
If the records have never been scanned by FamilySearch, it is possible for the Archive to request they be filmed, but FamilySearch has priorities, so the request may, or may not, be agreed to.
There is a contact email address in https://www.familysearch.org/en/info/archive for the Archive to contact FamilySearch
