The FamilySearch wiki has a short page on the region (see here), which essentially links to the main Polish search portal, Szukaj w Archiwach, and the archives of Lviv.
If you know your father's religion (or rather, his parents one) at birth, my advice (very basic, I have to admit) is to follow the steps in the FamilySearch wiki, and look in Szukaj for civil registration documents from Lviv.
