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 many 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.
All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 so based on other sets with the same date, were probably taken in Italy. In fact, most have been taken in the Tuscany in or near Florence or Pisa.
The first doesn't offer much that is identifiable in terms of location. It appears to be a parking area somewhere but I can't tell outside of what. Old cars are always fun to look at though.
The second photo was taken at a high point overlooking a city. I think this is probably Florence but can't tell for sure.
Google Images was able to identify the third photo as The Pieta by Michelangelo which is in the Santa Maria Del Fiore cathedral in Florence, Italy.
The last photo was taken on a street looking towards some mountains. I'm assuming this is in Italy also though I can't identify where.

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.
