You can run the Testdisk Analyse function and the Deep search function to find the remains of your partition. Use the "p"-key to list files inside of what Testdisk finds.
If you find nothing you can only use Photorec (disregarding file names and folder structures) or use a commercial software hoping to do better.
In your case with your precious data you would be better of duplicating your broken drive using ddrescue to avoid damaging your precious data when trying to modify the disk or even paying a professional recovery service to minimize risks.
