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.
The first photo from this set was processed in June 1964. I think this is the earliest photo I have seen from this batch so far and it isn't immediately obvious to me where this might have been taken. This looks like it is perhaps a building on a college campus somewhere.
The second photo was processed in September 1966. Other photos from this batch with that date were identified as being in Mexico so I suspect this photo was taken at a resort in Mexico.
The last two photos were both processed in June 1966. Previous photos with this date have been taken in Italy. I believe the first of the two (photo of the train) was taken at Pinocchio Park in Tuscany. This same train showed up in a previous set. The last photo shows a man and possibly his daughter in a restaurant.

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.
