 Lane spent the end of her life organizing her photographs and donating them to different organizations to shed light on the history of the women's movement.Her legacy is preserved at the Schlesinger Library at Harvard University, the Library of Congress, the National Museum of Women in the Arts, in Washington, DC, the New York Public Library, and the Rubenstein Library at Duke University.Her photographs stand out from other photographers because while she did photograph the important leaders of the women's movement, Lane photographed everyday, ordinary people during the protests.
