The easiest way to produce a cd-rom product would be to replicate the
microfilm (have the tiff images mirror the microfilm images, by date
order, I assume).  You could add a text file with a crude to complex
index matching date/vol. & no. to a range of image file names.  Or,
with considerable effort, you could OCR all, or a reasonable portion of,
the microfilmed text and provide an SGML marked-up text file(s) with
pointers to the appropriate image of the page(s) and sell the data on
cd-rom(s) for loading on an appropriate search engine which the end user
would supply.
