NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Some rarely seen pictures of President John F. Kennedy, his wife, Jacqueline, and their family will be among the items sold at auction by the late president's daughter, Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg, in February, Sotheby's auction house said Tuesday.

The illustrated catalog, above, will feature never before seen interior photographs of the Kennedy homes as well as seldom seen candid images of the Kennedy family.

The auction will cover more than 600 lots of items from the family's homes, including the famed compound in Hyannis Port, Mass. The sale, scheduled for Feb. 15 to 17 at Sotheby's galleries in New York, is expected to take in about $1 million.

Among other items sold, according to Sotheby's, will be interior photographs of the homes as well as furnishings such as glass works, furniture and domestics.

Schlossberg, in a statement issued by Sotheby's, said she has given anything of historical significance to the John F. Kennedy Library Foundation, which will make it accessible to scholars and to the public. A portion of the auction's proceeds will go to the foundation and other charities, Sotheby's said.

"After my mother died in 1994, my brother and I were faced with the task of deciding what to do with her possessions, and after careful consideration, we sold some of them in 1996," Schlossberg writes in the catalog introduction released by Sotheby's. "In the intervening years, and the death of my brother, I found myself again with more houses and belongings than I could possibly use or enjoy."

President Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963 in Dallas. His wife, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died of cancer in 1994, while his son, John F. Kennedy Jr., was killed in a 1999 plane crash.

The items will be on display at Sotheby's beginning Feb. 9.  Top of page
