We study the quasistatic evolution of a linear peridynamic Kelvin-Voigt viscoelastic material. More specifically, we consider the gradient flow of a nonlocal elastic energy with respect to a nonlocal viscous dissipation. Following an evolutionary Γ-convergence approach, we prove that the solutions of the nonlocal problem converge to the solution of the local problem, when the peridynamic horizon tends to $0$, that is, in the nonlocal-to-local limit.
