Integrating gallery made outside WP into a WP generated page

    I am making my own photogrpahy portfolio site.

    I have generated a series of gallery pages using software on windows. Each page page contains a complete project, containing multiple images as thumbs that can be maximized and even viewed full screen. The program has generated all the necessary html, css and javascript files and written them to discrete directories.

    Meanwhile, in wordpress I have made the pages I want for my website, including the gallery pages that correspond to the galleries I mad on the PC. So far all these online galleries contain are headers and nav bars.

    What I would like to do is upload the galleries I made on the pc to my website and then insert/embed/integrate into the relevant gallery pages. I would want to do that in such a way so that the existing css and javascript that is already controlling the wordpress-generate site doesn’t interfere with how the galleries render and run.

    I have an inkling that shortcodes may be the way to go but how would I upload the existing galleries (do I just create a folder in the root directory called “galleries” then upload the entire file structure into that?) and is there a way to generate a shortcode to insert the galleries? Would the existing css + javascript on the site disrupt the formatting of the galleries?

    Plese excuse my rather vague wording, I am a photographer/filmmaker with some experience of creating websites in html and css but I am no developer. I am learning wordpress, with awe, as I put my site together.
