We consider a class of abstract evolutionary variational inequalities arising in the study of frictionless contact problems for linear viscoelastic materials with long-term memory. We prove an existence and uniqueness result, by using arguments of time-dependent elliptic variational inequalities and Banach's fixed point theorem. We then consider numerical approximation of the problem by introducing spatially semi-discrete, time semi-discrete and fully discrete schemes. For both schemes, we show the existence of a unique solution and derive error estimates. Finally, we apply the abstract results to the analysis and numerical approximation of the Signorini frictionless contact problem between two viscoelastic bodies with long-term memory.
