OpenLibrary is a project of the InternetArchive and WikiSource is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation. To compare them in terms of sustainability, you'd really need to look at size and diversity of community, diversity of funding sources, etc. Having said that, the digitization is the hard part (at least to do it right), not the storage. You can store it on one and move it to the other if the first fails, store it on both, store it additional places besides these two, etc. Tom
