This site is so good. Was going to post it if it wasn't already. Def my go to rom/iso site
Internet archive has all of them (EU,US&JP) in alphabetical libraries. Also has bios files
Take a look here: https://r-roms.github.io/megathread/sony/#sony-playstation-2
i came here to link the same,and since its not a specific site it doesnt break rule 3!
Internet archive
https://vimm.net and https://myrient.erista.me are my go to sites for ROMs! Especially myrient since you can use FTP to download files. https://archive.org works too, though downloads are quite slow for me
For BIOS files, you can find them on the emulation wiki: https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/
Using a multipart downloader (like internet download manager) for archive.org downloads saturate my bandwidth (though its only 60ish mbps)

USA releases
Torrent still works to this day
On ed2k/kad network you have some!
Holy crap, I remember that. It still exists? 🤯
Yes, and It works like a charm when you find what you are looking for
I use CDRomance because they used to have ISOs / ROMs that's already patched with fan translation / hacks / undubs
If you want more vanilla ISOs, maybe try Vimm's Lair
No one mentioned cdromance, so I'll do that. Pretty much the only source I use besides Vimm's Lair. Also, when you can, prefer US versions over EU, as the former run at 60FPS while usually EU PAL are locked at 50FPS, if I'm not mistaken.
CDR is an amazing source
Take a look here (base64): aHR0cHM6Ly9yLXJvbXMuZ2l0aHViLmlvL21lZ2F0aHJlYWQvc29ueS8jc29ueS1wbGF5c3RhdGlvbi0y
PS2 section, but there are links to almost every older system (including PS3)
For preservation, go with a redump pack. They aim to make a collection of "perfect checksums" of every game. Badically, multiple people will rip the same game and they post a "hash" of their file and the perfect rip is the one that matches each other. They do not share the actual files, but you can get the a pack from archive.org of iso files that match the hash database of redump. This should give you the best collection.
