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 two photos were processed in July 1975 and were taken in Hawaii. The first appears to show some kind of traditional Hawaiian construction while the second shows some fresh mango.
The next two photos were processed in October 1973. There have been a few photos in previous sets from the same time period and location but I wasn't able to identify them before. I was able to identify these as part of the Harpers Ferry Heritage Trail in West Virginia. The building in the third photo is the John G. Wilson building which was built in 1824-1834. It once housed an inn but now houses a bookshop. I believe that the building in the last photo is the Industry Museum.

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.
