It follows an executive order by President Donald Trump that required remaining unredacted files in the case to be made public.
Experts are combing over the papers, not all of which have appeared online. They say the job will take time, and that they do not expect many ground-breaking revelations.
US authorities have previously released hundreds of thousands of JFK documents, but held some back, citing national security concerns. Many Americans still believe the gunman, Lee Harvey Oswald, did not act alone.
Kennedy was shot during a visit to Dallas, Texas, on 22 November 1963.
