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 1966. Based other previous photos from the same time, it was probably taken in Mexico. Google's image search wold seem to verify that identfying the building in the photo as the Posada La Misión Hotel in Mexico, Guerrero state, Taxco.
The second photo was processed in June 1966. It appears to be a train like you might see at a zoo or amusement park. However, I'm not sure where it was taken.
The third photo was processed in September 1966. Based on photos in previous sets with the same date, this was probably taken on a beach in Mexico.
The last photo was processed in July 1975. Based on other photos in previous sets with this date, this was likely taken in Hawaii. There's large crowd gathered under the structure but it isn't clear what is going on. Some tour or other event for tourists most likely.
