He held the office  for just over 1,000 days before his assassination, but they were  significant days, and the man and his family became iconic around the  world, especially capturing the imagination of Americans at home. This  year, a four-year, $10 million effort to <a href="http://www.boston.com/ae/theater_arts/articles/2010/11/28/10m_project_to_digitize_jfk_archives_underway/" target="_blank">digitize</a>  the JFK Library and Museum’s archives is nearing completion, and LIFE  Magazine has just released a series unpublished photos of the president.  Collected here are a sampling of these photos, most from the JFK  Library, some from LIFE and other press agencies, looking back 50 years  ago<img src="http://inapcache.boston.com/universal/site_graphics/blogs/bigpicture/JFK50_11_21/k01_STA45161.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />President John F.
