PRELIMINARY NOTE
The projects of the initiator S. Siller were reported in quarterly magazines, DIN A4 format, each with a volume of 16, etc. in the DGFK newsletter, Indus River, Sanaga rive, Rio Magdalena, etc.
At the end of 1999 the print publications were discontinued and since the beginning of 2000, the reporting was carried out via an Internet website.
Since this method was not flexible enough, a blog THATTA KEDONA was set up in 2004.
It is said, that everything can be found on the internet. During research however, it was discovered: That's probably not the case! Important reports and representations were lost. As a countermeasure and also in order to minimize the loss of texts and images, the ForZat-RCAT data was transferred from digital back into the analogue.

Poster-Legend PUBL
The poster project was created by the circle of Friends of the SSDC in Lahore under the leadership of Prof Aamir Rafique and the SSDC in Thatta Ghulamka Dhiroka under the leadership of Amjad Ali, - in close collaboration with the SSA / LGS-Nauen and the ForZat / HVK-Berlin.
For this purpose, around 1000 different tasks from the SSA were recorded in advance and categorized in seven classes. Due to large number of handwritten documents and research material, the reader of the publications would be missing the context without this classification.
A total of five brochures were created:
In the case of Garden dwarfs the documentation is unfortunately missing; The company that produced the garden dwarf has closed its archives and no specific articles were found in the press.
In the case of Al Andalus, appropriate sections from recovered letters were able to be compared with the sketches.
In the case of SSi 88, suitable sequences from friends, employees or clients who had already expired were included from a private collection and linked to current contributions, using the order from the SSA with 7 decades.
In the Marienleben case, water-damaged sketches from the SSA were restored and prepared for publication.
In the case of Three Little Dragons, a private collection was found and text and illustration were combined.
