The images, taken in 1850, will be transferred to the International African American Museum in South Carolina, where the people shown in the photos were enslaved.
Harvard said it had always hoped the photos would be given to another museum.
Ms Lanier said she was "ecstatic" with the result.
The 15 images feature people identified by the Peabody Museum as Alfred, Delia, Drana, Fassena, Jack, Jem, and Renty.
According to Ms Lanier, the settlement would mean the transfer of all the images not just the ones about Renty and Delia.
