Rather than lining the drawers with contact paper, line the drawer with a sheet or muslin, then place a layer of acid-free paper on the sheet or muslin. Contact paper would act much like a plastic bag, and we've all been taught to never store our quilts in plastic bags.

You could get some of that adhesive contact paper to line the drawers, then do a layer of acid-free tissue. The reason why I think the contact paper would be a good idea is because tissue is porous and could absorb whatever is in the wood.
