TOC and articles for newsletter and archives

In a site I’m working on, I need a newsletter archive. We publish a quarterly newsletter with about 12 articles per issue. I created a section for the newsletter and am using a category to define each issue.

So: how can I dynamically generate a linked list of newsletter issues like so:

Newsletters
—Volume 1, Number 1
—Volume 1, Number 2
—Volume 1, Number 3
—Volume 1, Number 4
—Volume 2, Number 1

I can generate such a list by assigning all newsletter articles a parent category of “newsletter” (which seems to defeat the purpose of defining a newsletter section) and a subcategory of “Volume 1, Number 1,” etc. Then I output the list using using category_list with the parent defined as “newsletter”. And the links generated do display the articles, but on the default page instead of the publications page I created for this and other sections with similar content.

How can I define the page I want to use for these categories?
