Following Lauterman's death at the age of 45, her sister Annie established an endowment for the creation of the Dinah Lauterman Library at McGill University. A memorial exhibition of her work was displayed in the Redpath Library in 1947 to commemorate the library's new special collection of fine art books.{{cite book|last1=MacDonald|first1=Colin S.|title=A Dictionary of Canadian Artists|date=1967|publisher=Canadian Paperbacks|location=Ottawa|url=http://www.rcip-chin.gc.ca/application/aac-aic/description-about.app?lang=en|access-date=2015-03-07|archive-date=2015-01-06|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150106111515/http://www.rcip-chin.gc.ca/application/aac-aic/description-about.app?lang=en|url-status=dead}}{{cite news|title=A Fitting Memorial: Work of Late Montreal Artist Exhibited at Redpath Library|agency=Montreal Star|date=April 29, 1947}}
