If you can't find a more expedient way, I'd be happy to help read off the files if you're willing to part with the disk for a few days. I have experience reading many old diskette formats, and a PC dedicated to the task running DOS 6.22 and Windows for Workgroups 3.11.

I definitely agree it would be good to save these files for posterity.
