In this paper we present the experience of the Digital Humanities Observatory in designing and implementing a repository of digital resources for the humanities. We describe how, in a situation of great funding uncertainty, we focused on sustainability to provide both a national infrastructure and the possibility to easily migrate the hosted resources to different, decentralized platforms. Using flexible, open-source and highly interoperable software, we supported a variety of different options to manage the digital resources stored in the repository. This allowed the repository to meet the wide range of heterogeneous requirements gathered from our partners. The result is a flexible architecture that is designed to be more sustainable and ready to gracefully degrade in case of end of funding.
