Cool Gyro Output Data

The output data from our gyro is in voltage (0-5v), which corresponds to an angular velocity (deg/s). The data is in an analog(ue) format, and thus is unusable in raw form to any custom microcontroller, such as the BS2p we are using. So, we are passing the data to an 8-bit ADC, and then using multiplication (deg./s * sec) to get an angular displacement. Is there any way this can be done before the data hits the ADC, as in a analog(ue) circuit capable of multiplying the gyro output by time, or taking the integral of angular velocity?

I read something about an op-amp capable of integrating, and heard about RC integrator circuits, but I an unable to find anything of use. If u know anything which can help me here, please respond....
