I made some impulse buys after getting a new scanner and picked up a huge batch of slides a while back. These pictures span from as early as the late 1940s to as late as the early 1990s. These were from Goodwill and eBay. 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.
Like the previous couple of sets, all of these slides were processed in August 1970 and were all probably taken in Italy.
The first photo appears to show a house under construction.
The second photo is the San Miniato al Monte which is a basilica in Florence, Italy that sits on one of the highest points in that city. This basilica was also featured in the previous set.
I believe that the third photo shows the stairway leading up to the basilica.
I'm not as sure about the last photo but I believe it may have been taken from the San Miniato al Monte looking away.

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.
