This plugin uses Javascript to dynamically expand or collaps the set of
months for each year and posts for each month in the archive listing.
This is a relatively simple plugin that uses Javascript to make the Archive links in the sidebar collapsable by year and/or month. There are a number of options available, such as having the ability to link to the archive pages or not, and whether or not you want to display individual posts or not. It also supports custom post-types. There are several default styling options built-in which work well with most themes. You can also define your own custom styles.

I use this plugin in my blog at http://blog.robfelty.com

How do I change the style of the collapsing archives lists?
The collapsing archives plugin uses several ids and classes which can be
styled with CSS. These can be changed from the settings page. You may have to
rename some of the id statements. For example, if your sidebar is called
“myawesomesidebar”, you would rewrite the line
