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.
All of the photos in this set were processed in August 1970 which places them in Italy, probably the Florence or Pisa area, based on previous sets with the same date.
The first photo features some kind of construction going on, probably restoration of existing architecture.
The second photo features the Palazzo dell'Orologio in the Plazza dei Cavelieri in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy.
The third photo features a view inside either a museum or a church. Almost certainly in either Florence or Pisa, Italy.
The last photo was taken from inside a car on a mountainous road, probably in Northern Italy but possibly even into France.

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.
