There are several methods available for file transfer. The most budget 
friendly would be serial transfer. One option is ADT. It was originally 
a 5.25 disk to 'disk image' transfer utility. ADTPro, a modern version 
of ADT might be the better choice with many more features. You could 
also use telecom software to transfer files between the computers.

An alternate method uses a Mac or some hardware capable of reading the 
II formatted disks. Unless you have a friend or acquaintance with such 
hardware this method could get expensive.

You don't specify if the data is stored on DOS 3.3 or ProDOS 8 disks. 
This could affect the amount of work required to convert the data. There 
is a program called CiderPress which should help once you have the 
data/disk images on the PC.

It's possible that someone here might be willing to make the conversion 
to disk images for you. Then you could decide the best option to convert 
the actual data into something you can use.
