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.
All of the photos in this set were processed in July 1975. All previous photos from this date seem to have been taken in Hawaii and that seems to be the case here as well.
The first photo features a view of the city of Honolulu. The building in the foreground is the Iolani Palace. Built in the late 1800s it was the residence of the last Hawaiian kings.
I believe the second photo features Hanauma Bay which is in Oahu near Honolulu.
The third photo features a group of people having a picnic. I can't tell where it is but it is probably also somewhere in Oahu near Honolulu.
There is a sign in the last photo that says "Gateway to Polynesia". I couldn't find an exact match but I think this is probably the entrance to the Polynesian Cultural Center which is also in the Honolulu area.
