Most of them are housed at Library of Congress in Virginia. The studio shipped them out in the 80's. That is, the lesser-popular films that didn't make it to video. You'd have to seek out a collector who has prints taken to home video.

The original audio materials; music tapes, dialogue and sound effects were all housed at Universal. A fire destroyed all of them back in the 60's. Hundreds of priceless tapes they had stored. To make matters worse, the music tracks they had put on optical nitrate film--were destroyed by the studio decades ago. They didn't realize how valuable they were. The only surviving source is the movie prints with the final soundtrack on them. Some of the metal disc recordings still exist, but I don't think they'd bother with them.

Universal has the master 35mm print in their vault. It's a sub-horror/mystery film that starred Claude Rains. Excellent score by Edward Ward. The DVD release I'd imagine will be in the next year or so. They probably will make it part of a DVD box set with some other films. I still have the VHS edition.
