420 while dela 606, 654, and 656 contain additional personnel budgets for 1719 and 1720, which provide valuable information about the extent to which the government succeeded in filling the numerous positions in the newly-established colleges. In addition, delo 654 contains detailed information about the foreigners serving in the colleges, while delo 605 contains documents concerning the recruiting of Swedish prisoners of war for service in the central administration. A large number of memoranda written by Heinrich Pick, including a comparison of the Swedish and Russian provincial administrations drawn up in 1718, are to be found in delo 58.

The collegial instructions preserved in this fond, those for the shtats-kontor-kollegiia in delo 11 and those for the kollegiia inostrannykh del in delo 12, have been published. Delo 12, however, also contains important information about the genesis of the Russian kollegiia inostrannykh del, including a comparison of the personnel and salary budgets of this college and of the Swedish kanslikollegium, which materials provide an idea of how the
