Accessing digitized microfilm



Has anyone out there digitized microfilm and made it accessible/linked to a finding aid (either EAD or HTML)?  I'm pondering how to effectively provide some kind of access to the .tif files resulting from digitizing the microfilm frames, without having to close and open each file, but rather scroll through (on a server, not CD). The collection is large and filmed on 167 reels of film.  

Has anyone played around with this?  Did you convert to .pdf first? Are there any web sites with access to entire digitized microfilmed collections? Any suggestions?

Thanks.
