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.
Three out of the four photos in this set were processed in August 1970. One doesn't have a date stamped on it but it's pretty clear it was taken around the same time and place. All of these photos were taken in Florence, Italy.
The first photo is a shot of the Church of San Miniato Al Monte in Florence, Italy. There have been other photos of this church in a couple of previous sets. While I'm not absolutely sure, I think the second photo is from inside that church.
I believe that the last two photos feature the bronze cast of Michelangelo's David that is in Piazzale Michelangelo in Florence. There have also been other photos of this statue in previous sets.

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.
