You could create a small application that creates a feature source and layer from each file instead of pointing to a directory. My experience is that a folder with too many files used as a single feature source, is no good for MapGuide.
Alternate, use your favorite desktop GIS software and merge all the historic files into a single file. Have a column that uniquely identify the shapes that belong to each file (id, filename, date or whatever suits your need). Create a feature source that points to this file, and each layer should then have a filter, to show the correct data. In our WebGIS application, we use this with a slider to make people slide back and forth to show historical data or flooding at different sea levels.
