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 July 1975. Based on that date and other photos with that date, I believe that all of these were taken in Hawaii. There isn't much to distinguish them but they look like they were taken around a volcano.
The third photo shows a parking lot and building. It looks like this is some kind of tourist area, perhaps the entrance to a state or national park. You can also see an observatory in the distance.
The last photo features a sign that says "Haleakala Crater". There is today in fact a Haleakala National Park in Maui so I suspect that's where this photo and perhaps the others were taken. There is also the Haleakala High Altitude Observatory which is located near the summit of Haleakala so that fits with the previous photo as well.

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.
