I am converting a two column static site to a drupal site. In our static site the sidebar content varies from html page to html page. We own a yarn store so the sidebar content on the "yarn" page has different photos and static text than the sidebar content in the "about us" page and so on.
I have converted my index.html file to page.tpl.php and set up the .info file with "content" and "right sidebar" regions. When I create new "page" content in drupal the text I copy over from the static site shows up in the main content region as expected. How do I get the information from what was the right column of my static site to show up in the new right sidebar regions and be different for each page.

Depends on what it is and where it's stored. If its in nodes, you could use views to create dynamic blocks of content that vary based on the node being viewed. If its just some static html and/or text, you could create custom blocks via admin/build/block.
Yet another option might be the http://drupal.org/project/panels module.
