How to not show the current month in wp_get_archives('type=monthly')

Question

wp_get_archives('type=monthly')

I have a page called the previous newsletter that shows all the months in which i have posted the date. But i don't want to show the current month in the list of the Previous Newsletter. The current month's posts will be shown on the "current month newsletter" page.

Assuming current month is the first item in a list you can hide it with jQuery.

Example code:

function test() {
// build the archive
   echo '<div class="months-list">';
   echo wp_get_archives('type=monthly');
   echo '</div>';
   ?>
   <script>
  (function($){
  $(document).ready(function(){
      // hide the first element of the list
      jQuery('.months-list li:first').hide();
      
  });
  })(jQuery);
  </script>
  
   <?php 
    
}

add_action('wp_head', 'test');
