I have a ton of digitized manuscripts and I'm looking for a plug & play solution for publishing them online (either through a server-side program or some code I can embed in my website). I don't need anything fancy, just something that will take me from page to page, and preferably that will include folio numbering (rather than just numbering pages consecutively. Suggestions?

To clarify, these are codex manuscripts, not letters or anything like that.

Dot, did the very simple, easy-to-host TEI page-turner application that Doug Reside recently created meet your need?

Or are you asking a broader question about a possible CMS?

Bethany, Doug put that together pretty much on-spec for me. I'm definitely just looking for something simple to read files directly from a file server and display them in a simple interface, not for any CMS.
Tanya, I'm not interested in the text, just the images. In my experience the VM is great for displaying text (even a single text), but the images are just linked from thumbnails and aren't really page-through-able on their own. But maybe it's been expanded since the last time I looked?
Thanks so much for your suggestions!
