We consider a perturbed hemivariational inequality with an additional negative subdifferential term and history-dependent operators. The perturbation is represented by a multivalued mapping, and its values are not assumed to be convex or bounded. We prove that there is a solution to our problem and establish a relaxation-approximation result for it using a localized version of Hausdorff-Lipschitz continuity adapted to the unbounded case.
