I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up several batches of slides a while back from Goodwill and eBay. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. There are thousands of these slides. I will be scanning some from time to time and posting them here mainly because I find them an interesting way to look back at the past.
I don't know a whole lot about the ultimate origins of this batch of slides other than they came from Goodwill. Like previous batches, these too often have a date stamped on them that I assume indicates when the film was developed and I believe in most cases should give approximate dating for the photograph itself. So far these seem like mostly vacation photos that were taken in the 1960s and 1970s. I've identified places in Italy, France, Mexico, and Hawaii so far.
Most of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 which places them as having been taken in Italy based on previous sets. Generally speaking, I think all of the Italy pictures have generally been taken in Tuscany, usually in or around Florence or Pisa.
The first photo features two individuals and looks like it was taken outside on the balcony or patio of someone's home.
The second photo is on a street looking toward the Palazzo Vecchio in Piazza della Signoria in Florence. I found a photo taken from almost exactly the same perspective on this page.
The third photo looks like it was taken inside a museum, probably also in Florence.
The last photo was taken on a rocky shore. I suspect that this was somewhere outside of Pisa or that general vicinity.

The entire collection that has been scanned and uploaded so far can also be found here. This also includes higher resolution versions and versions with post processing.
