You have options that don’t involve shady archives:
ROMs, or Read-Only Memory images, are digital copies of data from read-only memory chips, often found in cartridges and game consoles. In the context of video games, ROMs are essentially digital versions of the games themselves, ripped from the original game discs. When it comes to the PS3, these are usually in the form of .iso files or other formats like .pkg, which can be used to install and play games on a computer or other devices through emulation.
In the U.S. and most of the world, downloading a copyrighted PS3 game you don’t own is illegal, regardless of whether you use a ROM site, an Internet Archive upload, or a torrent. ps3 roms archive link
There’s only one safe harbor legally: Dumping your own games.
Under the DMCA, it’s legal to make a backup copy of software you own — but circumventing DRM to do so (and the PS3 has strong DRM) can be a violation.

But a complete archive of PS3 ISOs? Not legally on the open web.
The Reddit community r/Roms maintains a massive "Mega Thread" with links to every console. Under the "Sony" section, you will find a "PS3" tab containing multiple archive links (Google Drive, 1Fichier, or Internet Archive). This is currently the most reliable source for a PS3 ROMs archive link that is updated frequently.
