i am peer reviewing another student's book review and they use "governmental history" several times. i do not want to say anything if it is ok to use. here is the sentence beforehand (which happens to be the first sentence of the paper):
Paul VanDevelder's book shows the progression of a Native family's fight to keep their land on the Fort Berthold reservation.
And then the sentence with "governmental" follows next.

personally as a retired teacher, I think I need to hear what surrounds this to determine it, at first glance it sounds a bit awkward but maybe you can add details and show us the rest

Yes the word can be used in that context. He merely states that two types of historical sources are being used.
