I suppose (or is it like that already?) bitsavers needs some form of database
[1] linking filenames to descriptions; it'd be easy to have an "overview page
number" field in there which dictated what page was thumbnailed and displayed
to the user.
[1] not necessarily full-blown db; could be single flat-file, multiple files
one per dir etc. or whatever was suitable.
Personally I find I sometimes get lost in the archive (via the web interface)
though as a filename often doesn't obviously correspond to a document title.
Maybe I'm missing something obvious and that's just user error :-)
