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.
The first photo was processed in August 1970. With a little help from Google images I've determined that this is probably entrance to the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy.
The second photo is undated. However, Google images also helped to identify this as the interior of the Uffizi Gallery so it was likely taken the same day as the previous photo.
The third photo, like the first, was also processed in August 1970. Once again, this is inside the Uffizi Gallery. The artwork featured here is an altarpiece created by Andrea Manzini who was a Florentine painter born circa 1400.
The last photo was processed in September 1966 and was taken in Mexico. The colorful building featured is the Central University City Campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM) and was also seen in a previous set.

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.
