We study the well-posedness of integro-differential sweeping processes of Volterra type. Using new enhanced versions of Gronwall's inequality, a reparametrization technique, and a fixed point argument for history-dependent operators, we obtain the existence of solutions and provide a fully continuous dependence result for the integro-differential sweeping process. The paper ends with an application to projected dynamical systems.
