Where are the original Hebrew manuscripts of the books of the Bible maintained?

Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, the oldest Hebrew manuscripts from the Bible were the Masoretic texts, which date back to the seventh century CE, some thousand years after most of the Hebrew scriptures were written. Copies of the Septuagint, a second-century BCE Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, were also known. The Dead Sea Scrolls include some much older manuscripts, some dating back to the middle of the second century BCE. No earlier manuscripts are known to exist. To some extent there never was an 'original Hebrew manuscript' of some of the books of the Bible, since they underwent considerable revision and redaction up to perhaps the Hellenistic period.
