Introduction. The article discusses the relationship between various departments and leaders associated with the management of garrison artillery in the 1710s.
Methods. Documents preserved in the archives of the Order of Artillery allow us to understand the principles of this administration, especially in the part of supplying fortresses with guns and ammunition.
Analysis and results. The main body of documentary materials on the issue which is of interest to us is preserved in the archives of the Order of Artillery (Archive of the Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps). In addition, important information was found in the correspondence of the Admiralty Office (in the Russian State Archive of the Navy), as well as in the letters of Peter I (they are published). The artillery department was involved in the supply, and the reports were sent from the fortresses about how many and what tools there were in the fortresses.
