It means something that she did as a hobby when she was alive has taken on greater importance since her death. It has also become a great historical resource, and what she did when she alive has become more significant.

@stouffer: Thank you!
I see. So does the structure of this sentence look like this? :
...inflation of [the role of the hobbyist Alice Austen] into [that (=the role) of a pioneering documentarian].

Quite complicated 😂.
