archive pages or sub-menu

What I am trying to do is list the title of all posts in the left column and in the middle and right columns have a picture and short text related to a post. It is a history page. When someone clicks on year, which would be the title of each post, the center and right content change to go with the post page selected. Always keeping the lists or archive of posts on the left.

What would be the best way to go about this? Maybe the left is a sub-menu of pages?
