I'm working with a non widget aware theme. I'd like to add a link to a general archive page. I'm not sure what the link should to be though.
In other words, I'm planning to use archives.php to display either just the title/date info or an excerpt, or displaying categories which I can figure out... But I'm not sure how to call archives.php ...
A little help would be greatly appreciated.

I think maybe I wasn't clear in my original post. Staring at code erodes my brain...
The theme I'm working with is not widget aware, so I'm creating static links to pages, and I'm using a static page (write->page) as my home page. If I were using the latest posts as my home page there would be "previous" links dynamically created.
I'm trying to figure out how to create a static link to a page that has a list of posts (or excerpts) and figured archives.php is the way to do that.
My confusion is that I don't know what to link to...
I may have just answered my own problem...
Perhaps the solution is to make archives.php a template file with a different name and create a page using that template file?

OK... To answer my own question and confirm my own solution...
Yes, that was the answer. Not quite sure why I didn't think of it earlier.
Create a page, use archives.php as the template.
