Of course she has access to such information. She has access to perhaps the biggest database on Crystal Gem-related information in fact: all the Gemtech on Earth!

Even without her limb enhancers she can easily boot up Gem "computers" and access any information stored there (such as when she shows information about The Cluster to Steven on a Kindergarten "computer" in "When it Rains").

If there are logs created on the subject of The Cluster, surely there are logs or other entires on the whole civil war with the Crystal Gems that was going on at the same time (The Cluster was after all intended to be the ultimate weapon to end the Crystal Gems, most likely an intended counter to Crystal Gem fusions).

Peridot finding out about the Crystal Gems as they are chasing her around on Earth could easily be true.
