Consider having a piece of Plexiglas cut , it does not need to be as deep as the shelf only a few inches by the length, that will elevate the fabric boards you are using. If you intend to place fabric directly onto the shelves with the boards .. have it cut the length and depth of the shelf.

I wouldn't worry about it unless they are going to be sitting there for years on end. I store my larger yardage pieces in cedar trunk my DH got for me when I first starting sewing and they are still fine. I also remember my mother and grandmother storing all of our quilts in a cedar chest for as long as I can remember. I now have that same cedar chest with some of my quilts in it now.

I have a number of items in my cedar chest and they are still fine (no quilts). The only thing that has any stain on it is my wedding dress, which is velvet, because I didn't have the foresight to wrap it in acid-free paper.
