The Wildcat is one of the oldest continuously published scholastic publications in Orange County, with the first volume, a four-page black and white demitab, debuting in 1930. In the ensuing nine decades, the Wildcat has evolved from the demitab, to a 15 by 22.75-inch broadsheet, to an 11 by 17 tabloid (1980s to 2009), to a 12 by 12 over-sized magazine (2010-2014), to a full-color glossy magazine (2015-2020), to its current form, breaolindawildcat.com. 

To preserve the hundreds of print issues that were saved over the years — from the 1940s to 2019 (when the Wildcat went completely digital) — the Wildcat staff has embarked on a year-long project to digitize and post to the website each issue remaining in its newsroom.
