For non museum use, the popular answer seems to be hairspray. But for anything archival, that would be a no-no because of the chemicals.

Artists commonly use sprays to preserve charcoal drawings. Art supplies stores may carry a fixative that is "acid-free" or "archival safe".


Here is an example, although there is no mention on this if it is archival safe or acid free.
