Can someone help me figure out how to set up a page archive that lists month/year and brings up all the posts from that time period when you click on it?

The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hey there,
Nice theme you have chosen for your blog :) What your query suggests can be achieved by setting certain preferences in the Archives Widget options.
I will guide you through the process.
Head over to the Theme Customiser of your blog by visiting this link:
https://wordpress.com/customize/atticuscuriae.wordpress.com

Then click Widgets -> Top Area Widget One (I believe, in your case) -> Select the Archives Widget to expand for more options -> Check the two boxes, i.e. Display as dropdown & Show post counts

This will sort your post based on Month, Year format as well as mention the number of posts in each month. Also, it will present the viewer with a Dropdown button to access all historical posts.

Hope this helps you out. Let us know how it goes.
Warmly :)
